Have you set TERM to linux or ansi? If not try
export TERM=linux
or
export TERM=ansi
TERM=linux works great for me.

What exactly do you mean? Are there pauses or is it just incredibly
slow?
BTW: cygwin32 itself is a bit slow because of the emulation layer
sitting behind every little call. But it shouldn't be more than a
slight delay sometimes.

Some special keys have to be defined in ~/.inputrc to work. For me
this looks like this:
set meta-flag on
set convert-meta off
set output-meta on
"\e[3~": delete-char
"\e[4~": end-of-line
You will need an /etc/passwd with homedir entries and HOME set to your
homedir.
You could also try to set CYGWIN32=tty in cygnus.bat.
But perhaps your problem already gets solved by setting TERM=linux.
