Hi,
I'm running a 450Mhz laptop with 256Mb RAM.
The O/S is Win 2K SP3.
Your configure script takes approx 25 seconds, when
run as a bash command in an rxvt window with default
mounts as per setup (install binary/all)
uname -a gives:
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 JOHNS-2ND-STAR 1.3.12(0.54/3/2) 2002-07-06 02:16 i686 unknown
I hope this gives you something to compare with

>But the script takes 3 minutes to run on the same machine under CygWin.
