A while back I mentioned I was experiencing slowdowns under X.
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-09/msg00010.html
I think the slowdowns may have to do with Symantec Antivirus.
1. Establish remote connection using ssh inside an xterm running under
Cygwin/X.
2. Hold down a key ("bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb") and let go ("bbbbbbbbb"). Way
too many letters get buffered, because there's some sort of delay in
transmitting the keypresses.
3. Disable Symantec Antivirus Auto-Protect (via systray applet).
4. Do the keypress test again, and there's no delay.
5. Enable Symantec Antivirus Auto-Protect
6. Do the keypress test again, and the delay is back.
Is anyone else running Symantec Antivirus? Is anyone else seeing similar
slowdowns?
Thanks!
