Cygwin 'cp' command is still slow after Cygserver is installed

Tue Apr 11 20:07:53 GMT 2023

I've been seeing an issue where Cygwin commands sometimes take a while to complete, or they will not complete at all and will have to be manually killed through task manager. I installed Cygserver and that helped to lessen the number of times that the issue happens but it didn't get rid of it. I'm wondering if anyone has run into the same behavior. I've also shared the .dmp files of a 'cp' command that was taking a while to complete in case that helps:
