I use MSYS Git and have the MSYS shell installed. I run Windows XP. All of the sudden basic tasks like runnig ls take many many seconds (>7 seconds) in the Git Bash shell or in the MSYS shell.
Interestingly, even after ls "runs" it takes three seconds for the Bash prompt to return.
When I run ls from Window's native cmd.exe, shell, it seems fine and snappy.
I upgraded MSYS and Git. I did the reboot. Anyone have any ideas why the sudden change?
It seemed to occur after I get perl crash dump. I don't know if the two are related, but here is the contents of perl.exe.crashdump
