Matthew,

What OS are you running?  Which version of Cygwin did you have before?
Where is the "cygcheck -svr" output?  What are the symptoms/triggers of
the slowdown -- is it just "perceived" slowness, or do you have the
timings?

FWIW, the "islower()" warnings usually indicate that you had a running
Cygwin process while upgrading, and setup was unable to overwrite
cygwin1.dll.  Did you reboot after setup?  Did setup ask you to?  The
output of "cygcheck -svr" should show the version mismatch.  Please
provide it as an uncompressed text *attachment* as per
<http://cygwin.com/bugs.html> (and please make sure your mailer doesn't
put text attachments in-line).  You might wish to reboot first, just to
clear that up.
	Igor
