title: MinGW "make" starts very slowly
body: <p>After some pain and suffering, i managed to install everything necessary for MinGW to work on a computer not on the network.</p>
  
  <p>It worked nicely for a couple days, but now I'm experiencing very long delays before anything starts to happen after i give the "make" command to build my project.</p>
  
  <p>I tried disabling the network, as suggested here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/929495/why-is-mingw-very-slow">Why is MinGW very slow?</a>
  But it didn't help.</p>
  
  <p>Note that it's not the actual compilation / linking progress that is slow, but the startup of those processes seems to take forever. 5-10 minutes. Except if i just did it, then it starts in 10-30 seconds.</p>
  
  <p>I know, it used to take a lot longer to load those tapes on Commodore, but over the years I have grown impatient.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
