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@winehq.org ReportedBy: kirr@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.
