Re: ls and completion very slow in root dir of a windows drive

["Simon Brandner" <simon dot bra at gmx dot de>]

Hello,

is it possible to find the reason for the high delay on my pc?
I tried a strace ls. Its output is attached.

the long delay is after the line:
15   21715 [main] ls 1960 time: 1277304158 = time (0)^M

then comes: 
21057910 21079625 [main] ls 1960 stat_worker: 0 = (\??\C:\cygwin1_7\cygdrive, 0x22C7E0)


I hope this helps.
I had one cygwin instance initially running without this "ls" behaviour on drive d. After having switched in it to c: and do a "ls" it became slow again. Maybe there is some side effect necessary?


Regards,

Simon
