inconsistent slowness listing C:

I found the problem. It was a mapped drive which is either responding very slowly, or whose target share has disappeared. Clicking on the drive in Windows Explorer resulted in a long delay. After (Not Responding) for several minutes, I killed explorer. After restarting explorer and un-mapping the broken drive letter, 'ls /cygdrive/c' works without delay again.
