Cygwin's OpenGL package just provides a way for programs compiled with 
Cygwin's gcc or g++ to call _native_ (Windows version) of OpenGL, GLU, or 
GLUT. These 3 libraries are not compiled with Cygwin, so it is likely that 
the slowdown origins in some other part of your code, maybe Java-related.

The only libs of the package compiled with Cygwin are GLUI and GLUIX; are 
you using these?

If you need further help, please provide the output of cygcheck as an 
attachment in your next mailing, as specified in
