CygWin suddenly really slow

2

I've been having trouble with my CygWin terminal for a few days and I can't seem to find what has suddendly made it so darn slow...

Running $ time for i in {1..10} ; do bash -c "echo Hello" ; done gives me this:

real 0m3.084s

user 0m0.106s

sys 0m2.790s

Which seems to be a lot higher than it should be.

I've not installed anything new under CygWin's install path, or made any changes to it.

Has anyone else had any problems similar to this? Or does anyone know how to fix it?

Started happening for me right after installing Symantec Endpoint Protection – golimar – 2017-06-08T09:45:13.003
