Slow autocompletion in cygwin bash / enabling directory ls caching

[lhpitn]

Hi,

i have mounted me some sshfs over the internet to m: and then used cygwin to go to go to /cygdrive/m/something/there. this directory has only 733 elements (6 directorys the rest files), but it is anoyingly slow when i try to use the tab key to auto-complete some files i want to open in a row. And that not only the first time i use TAB (auto completion) but every time.

i dont have the same issue using sshfs under linux

Is there a way to cache directory listings somehow so that when cygwins bash (which is not the most efficient port i know) dose some file list operations repetedly on the same directory it is much faster.

Thanks in advance
