    Slow performance using grep.exe or ag.exe on windows 10


    Hi,


    I've been transitioning from windows 7 to window 10. I use cygwin and linux tools like grep.exe and ag.exe to search file contents.


    The issue is using these tools on windows 10 is dog slow and I don't get why. For a search that takes 5 seconds on my windows 7, takes about ~1.5 minutes on windows 10. (same search on same files)

    Another observation is while searching, the lsass.exe starts using most of the cpu (40 -60 %) then goes back to idle when the search finally finishes.


    Things I've tried:

    • Turned off realtime scanning (windows anti-malware)
    • Turned off UAC
    • used cmd.exe to search instead of mintty.exe terminal (to bypass cygwin.dll)
    • used powershell.exe to search
    • Program compatibility mode set to windows 7

    :)

    Exe file slow to open

    MSE doesn't slow down EXE files so turning it off would make no difference AND its not worth the risk. What exe is he even trying to run?
