It would be interesting to see if the cygwin libmysql could be fooled 
into using named pipes when connecting to the native mysqld. I guess 
that could give some speedup, at least a big difference can be seen on 
*NIX  when using domain sockets instead of TCP/IP.

I'm just thinking loud here. :)
When compiling libmysql under cygwin it should be possible to also the 
compile in the named pipe support.

Best regards
