testing on /tmp/benchmark with XPS P2 cygwin 1.7.8s 20100924
You're testing on the latest snapshot against his cygwin 1.7.7 results. This gives me hope that Cygwin can become faster because Sagi Ben-Akiva was willing to track down the cause of the slowdown [1]. Last I read, it's not clear whether the latest CVS changes are faster though [2]. However, it's probably worth trying out the 20100926 snapshot.
We haven't mentioned yet whether we are running under 32-bit or 64-bit Windows. It would be useful to know whether the problem only affects 64-bit Windows or not. Looking at the code changes, I would have thought it would equally affect 32-bit Windows.
