           Summary: msys is *incredibly* slow
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.0-rc3
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: kirr at landau.phys.spbu.ru


When running configure of a program in msys under wine the whole process is
incredibly slooooow compared to the same under Windows.

I've tracked the problem down to following:

$ export WINEPREFIX=`pwd`/msystest
$ wineboot -i
$ cd msystest/drive_c
$ wget -c
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/msysCORE-1.0.11-2007.01.19-1.tar.bz2
$ mkdir msys
$ cd msys
$ tar xfj ../msysCORE-1.0.11-2007.01.19-1.tar.bz2
$ wineconsole bin/sh.exe --login -i

--- in msys console ---

# time for i in 1 2 3 4 5; do     echo $i; done
...
real 0m0.021s

# time for i in 1 2 3 4 5; do     /bin/echo $i; done
...
real 0m3.396s


i.e. each fork of /bin/echo takes approximately almost *1* second!

On Windows both examples runs fast, although /bin/echo case is slightly slower,
but still speed ratio is not *that* big.

Thanks beforehand.
