Well, first off, you might want to attach the output of "cygcheck -svr"
(as an uncompressed non-inline text attachment), as per
<http://cygwin.com/problems.html>.
Secondly, try running strace on the slow program to see where the time is
going.  The relevant snippets of the trace file might be helpful in
determining the cause of the problem.
