While Cygwin''s fork emulation is indeed  slow (I once measured 1000:1
between Cygwin and Linux  * ),
"make test" likely started roughly the same number of processes "then"
as it does  "now".
In  which case the increase in the run time could be attributed to Cygwin.

You can get very substantial performance improvements
by not doing the right thing. - Scott Meyers, An Effective C++11/14 Sampler
So if you're looking for a completely portable, 100% standards-conformant way
to get the wrong information: this is what you want. - Scott Meyers (C++TDaWYK)
