Thanks for testing that for me! I had feared I was having filesytem 
speed issues as seen in WSL, but alas I was wrong. It turns out my issue 
with network performance bottnecks is due to the TCP window size not 
adjusting. Looking at the debug output of ssh, it seems the window size 
adjusts aren't being performed. Strangely enough, when I grabbed a fresh 
machine to test Cygwin on, I am able to get near wire speeds. Very strange.
