If you want the CYGWIN environment variable set to a certain value globally, just set it in the system properties dialog. BTW, ntsec has been enabled by default for years (?) so it's pointless to specify it in the environment. The delay you are seeing is probably due to ssh trying to do a reverse dns lookup of 127.0.0.1 and timing out. Make sure you have a hosts file that specifies "127.0.0.1 localhost" if you want to skip that delay.
