[clug] Ubuntu (Gutsy) + Virtualbox + XP + Cygwin == slow shell.

Hi all,
Against my better judgement I am forced to support an XP/Cygwin build
of toolbox that I maintain. So I decided to make my life a bit easier
and use XP within Virtualbox (on a Gutsy Quad Core thing). XP is fine
and works with reasonable speed but the shell in cygwin is somewhat
slow.
configure scripts for example take forever. (ie: one line or so per 2 seconds).
Anyone have any hints? Bash completion etc getting in the way?
Thanks
a
PS: the new "Seamless" mode in Virtualbox is very nice when combined
with mouse Integration (and True-X-Mouse on XP).
