I just brought up a machine with ESysMan, coped over an any.cmd with "echo
hello>hello.txt"  and executed the any.cmd file and it created a file
hello.txt pretty much right after I executed it.

I do it like this:

https://github.com/comptekki/esysman/blob/master/src/ecom.erl

Just a simple call to os:cmd(...)

I also put

C:\Program Files\erl5.9.3.1\erts-5.9.3.1\bin

at beginning of the System Variables, Path variable.  It's hard to tell why
yours is slow with no context of how you are using it.
