You are correct.
win95b P100 24M mem
configure+make ...cdk/tar
cygwin.cool_reloc_dll 10m31s
cygwin.cool_stripped_dll 10m19s
Looks like I got excited over nothing :-(, the effect was
mostly from being able to configure/make the cdk for the first time
with coolview.dll, as a result of marking it as a dll.
Primarily just the faster file system access.
Looks like the only real solution is static binaries,
at least for bash, the compiler suite and textutils.
and rewriting newlib/libc/string/ and the equivalent
libiberty functions in extern __inline__ x86 asm.
I guess I had better get to work on fork()

wana trade machines?

Linux a platform built by, and for users, standing on
the firm legs of reliability, and speed.
Microsoft Windows, a platform without a leg to stand on.
