Re: X11 becomes unresponsive. VERY unresponsive.

["Charles E. Cooper" <cec112 at psu dot edu>]

I've been having similar problems.
I have not rebuilt my cygwin in quite a while and haven't had these 
problems before.
any chance there's a conflict with some new patch in  Windows 2000?

I had not seen these performance problems previously, just the last few weeks.
My CPU pegs at 100% during cygwin usage, typically with starting up new 
windows.
It is close to unusable at times.
