OK.  I agree that gmp should not be in the sources or our CVS.
However, I would like to leave libgmp.a in the Cygwin binary, just
because gmp is not part of the Cygwin package system, and I don't want
to force people to compile it in that world.  With that, it is a bit
strange to have something in the binary that didn't come from the
sources, but oh well.

Yeah.  It varies greatly.  I have seen anywhere from 8K/s to 130K/s.
It seems to be worse during the day.  I have submitted a ticket to
SourceForge.
