cygwin/x symantec antivirus conflict


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!
