Q: Cygwin/Xfree is running very slow... any hints ?

OS: Win2000 SP2
How do I start the damn thing: startx from cygwin
I am running engine 4.2.0

I have attached the startup files I am using. The startx is the shipped one
with the defaultserverargs variable modified.

- Could that be linked to the dual CPU ?

Thanks

JM
