Your results notwithstanding, my performance (if you want to call looping
'date's that) went down five-fold from what it was on XP 32-bit and
corresponds to the figures posted at the beginning of the thread. And as to
the bash not being "efficient shell", that may very well be but I think it
would be naive to think that a fellow developer does not notice changes in
his development environment as apparent as auto-completion or compilation --
routines repeated thousands of times over many years. 

Obviously, there could be something else wrong in my setup as well, but I
did ran similar tests through the native command shell and been timing my
compilation times on MSVC. Everything is lightning-fast in comparison to my
old dev env -- just not cygwin.
