Performance issue on Vista x64

2008-04-30 Thread Timo Kerstan

Hi all,

we are experiencing massive performance problems using the latest stable 
cygwin under Vista x64. UAC is turned off.

Building a PPC GCC Cross compiler takes about 1 day to complete...
I did not find anythin helpful yet. It would be great if someone could 
give me a hint...

Well, this is kind of a generic request so I guess me making a fairly
generic WAG in response can't be bad form. ;-)  How about this:

Don't get too concerned if your symptoms don't match with any described.
BLODA is insiduous and can be responsible for all kinds of bad behavior.

If this isn't helpful, read and follow the problem reporting guidelines
before posting a follow-up.  It will help us help you better.

A: Yes.
 Q: Are you sure?
 A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
 Q: Why is top posting annoying in email?

Actually cygwin runs on a fresh install of Vista x64 on a [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
GHz with 4GB RAM. I can't imagine any other
Application interfering with cygwin because there is nothing installed

not a member of a Domain.


Windows Defender is a BLODA -- and it's shipped as part of Vista, and is 
automatically enabled.  I had luck turning that off, and installing 
instead AVG 8.0.  It's got spyware protection too, but isn't a BLODA.


The cygcheck is now already running for 1 hour without returning It 
blowed the size of the output to 389 MB...
It looks like he is running into an endless loop when iterating the 
Registry. I attached a cutted version of the output


don't know what to make of this.
