I expect a crawling speed when running Cygwin in a ARM x86_64
emulation mode
When I tried that a while ago on a macbook air m1 I was actually quite
impressed. I ran windows-10-for-arm within UTM on the Mac. This was back
in August and at that time ar least I had some misery with networking in
the Windows world. Native ARM code runs with very little slowdown under
Windows/UTM but what astonished me was that my own code running under
cygwin-x86_64 in that world was maybe only a factor of 3 down on the same
code native built on the Mac. So a slowdown but the Mac m1 is sufficiently
fast that that is not really a crawl. I have not tried more recently and
am concerned with rumours that Microsoft may withdraw x86_64 emulation
from W10 (but keep it in W11), and with concerns about windows-for-arm
licenses for use in a virtual environment.
