The only point at which backgrounding would help is the short time it takes for the shell to figure out what the association is (nearly instantaneous on my machine). FWIW, another use for cygstart is to launch a Cygwin application in a new window (e.g., I use "cygstart bash" quite a bit) and to launch some Windows application without leaving the Cygwin exec stub process behind (e.g., "cygstart setup" is very very useful).
