Yes - although it's pretty quick link (and not the other side of the world).

Performance now is good - as long as the cygserver is running.
With:
>cmd /v:on /c "echo !TIME! & C:\cygwin64\bin\mintty.exe /bin/echo "test" & echo
>!TIME!"
12:13:43.53
12:13:43.65 = 0:00.12
Without:
C:\Users\dehagart>cmd /v:on /c "echo !TIME! & C:\cygwin64\bin\mintty.exe
/bin/echo "test" & echo !TIME!"
12:14:36.28
12:16:24.85 = 1:48.57
