mkdir is too slow

Hi,

I got a weird problem with Cygwin. I am using Cygwin 1.7 on Windows 7
RC (x64) and noticed that configure scripts are real slow and tried
some simple tests and to my surprise

mkdir /foo

takes up to 18 seconds! But interestingly time(1) is lying to me :

[~]> time mkdir /foo
mkdir /foo  0.00s user 0.01s system 20% cpu 0.074 total

while waiting for this to finish I was able to count to 20.

Any idea why would be the reason for such slowdown?

Regards.
