I was trying to help by cutting down on places to look.  If you want to
investigate tty code, feel free.

Logic fan, are you?  Did you see anything in the strace log that indicated
cygwin was operating improperly?  "It's slower" is not necessarily a sign
of improper behavior.  There are often reasons for decreasing performance,
such as "improving compliance".  If a program is so finely tuned that it
falls over when timings change then it is possible that it is just not
going to work.
