Many operations cause emacs to stall for more than 10 seconds. For example, opening a file usually causes this. display-about-screen (ctrl-h, ctrl-a) always causes this. ctrl-g has no effect. Any suggestions? Emacs is basically unusable. I have cygwin installed, but not on my path. Nothing else special about the system. I have my $HOME set. after looking around I tried adding (setq w32-get-true-file-attributes nil) to my .emacs. No help there. I am doing this with a network connection. That doesn't seem to matter.
