title: Git Bash is very slow
body: <p>I saw this link <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4485059/git-bash-is-extremely-slow-in-windows-7-x64">Git/Bash is extremely slow in Windows 7 x64</a> and I followed his advice but nothing works for me.</p>
  
  <p>I uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled Git and Git Bash works very slow.</p>
  
  <p>I changed the variables:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ Git config true --global core.preloadindex
  $ Git config true --global core.fscache
  $ Git config --global gc.auto 256
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When you start Git Bash takes more than 5 seconds and commands like ls or pwd take 3 or 4 seconds.</p>
  
  <p>I type set -x in the file /etc/profile and this is the output when Git Bash init:</p>
