It is in the \cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin folder, and you start it from the command line with startxwin.bat. You might need to modify it before it opens an xterm to add in an xhost command, but it seems to work right out of the box for me. I use the cygwin xserver 8-9 hours a day, five days a week, while others in my office use Reflection-X, etc, and other costly programs. I think cygwin xserver works faster than anything I've seen, so give it a try. I made an icon on my desktop that calls C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\startxwin.bat, modified to open 4 xterms, and it works great.
