Indeed.

But perhaps what the Cygwin core and/or Cygwin Perl maintainers need is a
simple test case Perl script that can be shown to be much slower on the
current
releases than it was on a named earlier pair of releases. And maybe some
testing by the original poster to see if it is the Cygwin or Perl release
change that causes the issue.

Anecdotal observations do not an issue report make. ;-)
