Just a quick comment. I've been a long user of cygwin, and until recently noticed that cygwin was running extremely slow (it would take several seconds to fork off a command). After debugging a while, it turns out that I had added UNC (\\ style windows) paths to my system PATH environment variable. The removal of these (maybe slow network drives) from the PATH (or disconnection from the network) solved the problem for me. Perhaps further investigation is warranted. Thanks.
