Matthew,
What OS are you running? Which version of Cygwin did you have before?
Where is the "cygcheck -svr" output? What are the symptoms/triggers of
the slowdown -- is it just "perceived" slowness, or do you have the
timings?
FWIW, the "islower()" warnings usually indicate that you had a running
Cygwin process while upgrading, and setup was unable to overwrite
cygwin1.dll. Did you reboot after setup? Did setup ask you to? The
output of "cygcheck -svr" should show the version mismatch. Please
provide it as an uncompressed text *attachment* as per
<http://cygwin.com/bugs.html> (and please make sure your mailer doesn't
put text attachments in-line). You might wish to reboot first, just to
clear that up.
Igor
