Hello,
We are experiencing some issues with the Cygwin commands (ie. from bash
-login) taking several minutes on three of our Windows 2016 servers.
ls -al -- 1min 32sec
find -- 4min 46sec
When you search for a specific file, such as ls -al ./ABC/XYZ.txt, it is
very quick.
We ran strace on the machines where it is quick and where it slow.
Here is some annotation for not working and working excerpted from the
files:

All our other Windows 2016 servers do not experience any issues.
Do you have any suggestions on finding out what is causing this?
I can't give you a definitive answer, but it looks like you're running 32-bit
Cygwin. I suggest switching to 64-bit Cygwin. Here's a quote from
https://cygwin.com/ that might be relevant:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
32 bit Cygwin
Address space is a very limiting factor for Cygwin. These days, a full 32 bit
Cygwin distro is not feasible anymore, and will in all likelihood fail in random
places due to an issue with the fork(2) system call.
Therefore we recommend using 32 bit Cygwin only in limited scenarios, with only
a minimum of necessary packages installed, and only if there's no way to run 64
bit Cygwin instead.
