I use Win XP
but I talk about the basic function of editing a c source file,
simple typing characters that appear on the screen.
i think that's a problem with the ide and has nothing to do
with the toolchain and cygwin.
with a 3 Ghz PC it is slower than a mechanical typewriter,
something is running in the background that tries to help me,
but only disturbs me (i already tried to switch everything off)
it's like in good old cinema films about computers, where
the signs appear one after the other with click,click,click
on the green screen.
