Yes, it could be the reason

This is certainly strange.  What's contained in the ~/.bashrc file.

Ah, we're getting closer to the problem.  I expect that Cygwin commands running
from the DOS prompt to be slightly longer overall.  Every instance of the
command has to load and initialize Cygwin.  There is a means to add the
Cygwin1.dll to the list of "Known DLL's" that get loaded on startup of the
environment and that might speed up the commands for you.  I don't remember the
particulars of how to do this but it is in one of the cygwin archives I don't
remember if it was discussed in cygwin or cygwin-developers.

You could also try one of the newer snapshots to see if that solves the
problem.

These should have no affect.
