I've noticed something similar -- that the DOS copy command is much faster than the Cygwin cp command. It was only around a factor of 2 difference though. See the following: https://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-09/msg00389.html Maybe the two issues are related? My impression is that cp, ls, and rm are all significantly slower than their Windows equivalents. I don't have the ability to fix these myself but would definitely appreciate performance improvements as I have many Tb of data that I'm working with.
