Andrew might want to consider compiling Cygwin-Apache with the native
Winsock option. This way it still lives in the Cygwin file system
space so has the POSIX/Linux style configuration files but bypasses
the Cygwin Berkeley->Winsock socket API translation. Apparently this
helps.

(But I suspect the majority of the performance difference Stipe has
found is the use of threads in the native Windows version against
forking child processes in the *X versions which is a more expensive
operation.)
