In one of my XP box, git log takes about 5 seconds. I did some Google search, one email thread in this mailing list says setting "GIT_PAGER=" can solve the problem. I tried it, it really works. But some other commands like push is still slow. I am using http://msysgit.googlecode.com/files/PortableGit-1.6.3-preview20090507.7z In another XP box, the same msysgit binary, the same "git log" command is very fast without GIT_PAGER change. So it might due to some strange XP settings. Anyone has idea? Thanks, Guo ``` ## Peter Harris, 2009-05-27 15:49 Subject: Re: msysgit git log slow performance Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/eaa105840905270849l5ca0b501id8f86c9c0b44719f%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <4120f6ec0905270843u225d6b3bt701c1817d68b4648@mail.gmail.com> ``` On Wed, May 27, 2009 at 11:43 AM, guo tang wrote: > Hi, Gentlemen, > > Anyone else has performance problem with msysgit "git log" command?

Anyone has idea? At a guess, maybe you have a (disconnected) network share somewhere in your PATH? Peter Harris ```
