Can't comment on usage from within emacs, because I don't do that. MSYS shell start-up is almost instantaneous for me, but I have experienced horrendous delays, when starting from a USB flash drive, on a machine with a particularly aggressive virus scanning configuration. > 2) I get the dreaded "control chars" or whatever in the shell...

What container is the shell running in? What is the setting of $TERM? Is it properly exported? These are ANSI terminal control sequences, presumably originating from the prompt. You could modify the setting of $PS1, to remove colour options, but it would be good to try to identify why the terminfo layer isn't interpreting them correctly. -- Regards, Keith. |
