That's not surprising. Cygwin is a POSIX emulation environment *on top*
of Windows -- naturally the performance of any Cygwin tool will be slower
than that of an equivalent pure Windows tool. The MinGW case is
surprising, but doesn't belong on this list.
I was planning on sending the question to Mingw32. I never have been
totally clear on how separate and distinct Cygwin and Mingw32 are.
Is this a Cygwin problem, or g77 problem or something else. I don't
recall experiencing such differences several years ago when doing the
same thing.
Things evolve. It's possible that some system calls got speeded up on
Linux (or, though doubtful, that some system calls got slowed down on
Windows). Are you using the same exact options to compile (keep in mind
that the defaults may be different on Linux and Cygwin)? As a WAG, are
you using floating point emulation instead of hardware?
I supply the same compiler flags to both under Linux and Cygwin (-O and
some -D defines). To my knowledge, I'm not using floating point
emulation. But if I was, how would I be able to check?
