Even errno is not set (0). Haven't seen a reply to this yet. Upgrade cygwin.dll. The fix is pretty recent (1.5.22 or something). Perhaps we now need a note in INSTALL. Light testing seems to indicate that this change removes most of the system times while leaving user time mostly unchanged (though I don't know what cygwin time really reports in these categories). In the git repository this is about 30% of the total time. For another (slightly larger but with fewer objects) pack this still saves 20%. I haven't compared it with the NO_MMAP version (too lazy), but overall it's a win for cygwin as well (though we should note that cygwin's mmap seems to have reasonable performance). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
