I'm not sure I understand what you're seeing: if your repository is
already set up with core.filemode set to false, Git won't check the
executable flag on the files.  What leads you to think the speed
slow-down is related to checking whether the file is executable?

If setting cygexec makes a noticable speed difference even with
core.filemode false, I can only conclude the problem is somewhere below
Git and related to how the Cygwin DLL provides file access.

FWIW, having just checked the Cygwin user guide's fstab instructions[0],
the noacl setting should be ignored on NFS filesystems; if you're seeing
that make a difference, that looks like a bug.
