cmder: Very slow; clink_x64.exe seems to be to blame
Came into work today to find my commands were taking ages to execute, even those as simple as git status. Restarted my PC to no avail. Downloaded the latest release and tried a fresh install to no avail. Nothing has changed on this computer.
It takes anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes to execute any git task. Native commands like dir seem to work instantly, but it still takes about 60 seconds for the prompt to show up again to enter a new command.
I found a few tickets with similar issues: #188 and #763. Neither really seem to have answers other than a suggestion to have get_git_dir() in clink.lua return false and comment the rest of the code out. That didn’t work for me. #447 suggests the problem is with git itself, but this is not the case either as the same command in any other shell runs instantly and the prompt for a new command comes back up instantly.
My computer is running 64-bit Windows 10 Enterprise, has an i7 @ 3.40 GHz and 16 GB of RAM. No other programs are behaving slowly.

This is still an issue in March 2020 running the latest version. Can we get an update on this?
So i tried the latest dev build and the problem still persists. It really ruins the experience…
Any ideas how we can troubleshoot this issue?
Seems like it may be IPV6 related.
If possible try to disable IPV6 in your network settings.
Interesting. I never had this issue on the previous version I was running (Don’t know what version number this was, but it was from sept 2017 - august 2018). It’s only now that my laptop was reinstalled that CMDer became really slow.
@Stanzilla can you please explain why the issue is marked closed as this issue is still active? None of the advices here worked.
As a workaround, if you use the powershell task it doesn’t need clink so it should remain speedy for you. If you don’t use arguments to the usual windows commands(dir, cd, etc…) you shouldn’t notice much different.
