Problem - extreme network slowness, cygwin only

[Troy Noble]

Kevin's right.  If you paste his suggested fix near the end
of your .bashrc file that should do it.

  export PATH=`echo $PATH | sed 's/\/\/[^:]*://' | sed 's/:\/\/[^:]*$//'`

This could be your problem right here.  In your PATH:

   //c/program files/microsoft visual studio/vss/win32

Unless you have a machine on your network named "c"
you are trying to browse to the UNC PATH "\\c".
That'll slow you down for sure.

I thought you said your PATH was only "/usr/bin" that's why I
couldn't see it before.  cygcheck reveals all as usual.
