git - msysgit very slow in Windows 7 -

i installed msysgit on computer (windows 7 sp1 64-bit). downloaded git version 1.7.10 google code , ran installer. chose 'run git windows command prompt' , left rest default.

i started command prompt administrator , ran git init on project folder initialize repository. command took 48 seconds complete. running git add * or git commit take same. project contains few folders , files.

is normal? under impression git faster other dvcs.

thanks in advance.

apparently have restart windows after installing msysgit. ryan rinaldi help!

edit: hasn't happened again since upgraded version 1.8.0.msysgit.0
