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

Could be long ACL lists with many unique ACEs that need looked up on AD, and/or slow ADCs, and/or slow AV, and/or slow net:

for each file show the outputs of

	$ ls -dl $f
	$ getfacl $f
	$ icacls "`cygpath -m $f`"

and also attach as text, the output from strace on the cp command, as it will show the timing and delays e.g.

	$ strace -o cp-strace.log cp ...



I couldn't run strace on the Cygwin command because the issue is really intermittent. I did have another Cygwin cmd, 'mv', that was hung so I ran the commands below on the file it was trying to move:

D:\lsenv\law\lsapps\edi\work>ls -dl valid_ediout.20230413113258.tmp
-rwxrwxrwa   1 Administrators   INFORBC\Domain Users        749 Apr 13 valid_ediout.20230413113258.tmp
