latex painfully slow


Dear Friends,

Yesterday I updated cygwin and now latex is amazingly slow.  By this I
mean that its output comes out about 1 line per second.  You know,
stuff like this:

..
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/hyperref/hyperref.sty
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/hyperref/pd1enc.def)
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/config/hyperref.cfg)
Implicit mode ON; LaTeX internals redefined
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc/url.sty))
*hyperref using driver hdvips*
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/hyperref/hdvips.def
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/hyperref/pdfmark.def)) (./PPRjmadams.sty
Jmadams style for Prosper ---
...

It is normal for this stuff to fly by even on slower machines like my
Linux box, which is only 433Mhz.

I am not observing any other performance problems on the system.  So,
I wonder whether something is wrong with latex.

Comments?

Thanks a lot,
