I find Vista, XP and 2000 are all (roughly) equally slow. That is, I think 
it's a "Windows" thing rather than a "Vista" thing.

I can build ('./configure' and 'make') and test ('make check') *both* GMP 
and MPFR on my linux box in the time it takes to  run './configure' and 
'make' for GMP *alone* on Cygwin. And that's the case irrespective of 
whether the Windows box is 2k, XP, or Vista.

I have the impression that a build in the MSYS shell is slightly quicker 
than a build in Cygwin's bash shell - but I haven't timed a comparison and 
*could* be mistaken about that.

Cheers,
Rob
