I don't know how up-to-date you are keeping your baz, but I found a 
small bug recently, which causes baz on cygwin to hang for about 4s (at 
least on my machine). It turns out the pathcompress code was somehow 
creating a network name (//cygdrive) which caused a network lookup, 
which would eventually timeout (4s).

Anyway, I know have an updated version posted (it comes along with the 
latest changes from baz mainline). I'm much happier now that I don't 
have that hang. (It also means that make test takes 56min instead of 75min).

I noticed the bug in baz-dos-1.5-beta44, though it probably existed 
earlier. It is now fixed in baz-dos-1.5-beta52. I would have thought 
that the change that caused this would have occurred back at patch-20, 
so maybe it has been happening, and I just didn't notice.

In the process of trying to speed things up, I also created a C++ 
version of my pc-rmrf functionality. I no longer thing that was the 
slowdown for make test, but it's written now. And it has much lower 
startup overhead (time python -c "" takes 0.2s, time bash -c "" 0.1s, 
compiled code 0.04 on cygwin [on Linux time python -c "" is about 0.08, 
time bash -c "" is 0.007])

Anyway, just to say that I recommend upgrading to the latest version 
available at:
http://bazaar.canonical.com/Downloads

Also, you probably will want to do:
rm /usr/local/bin/pc-*
Before installing the new version, just to make sure the compiled code 
doesn't conflict with the old shell script.

Anyway, I thought I would mention the update, in case anyone is using it 
and noticed the same problem that I have been running into.
