Adam, thanks so much for taking the time to post your solution.  I was
struggling with this problem for several hours before finding your fix. 
There must have been some change to cygwin in the last year, because my
previous version of cygwin did not manifest this problem, and other cygwin
users in my office (using older versions) who I know also have some badly
mapped network drives are not experiencing any slowness.
