Eons ago, one company I was at used cygwin and my
builds were orders of magnitudes slower then others (hours vs minutes).
With closer investigation, the build process spawned lots of command shells and
each one took several seconds to start. After removing and reinstalling
the cygwin, my builds were back in the minutes category.
Just a thought...

basically yeah.. common.copy takes about 85 percent of the
time.

This is indeed unexpected, but I
have no idea what could be wrong. Is
most of this time indeed spent
copying files?
