You can open a cmd.exe terminal window and type "bash --login -x" (or -xv)  
to figure if it spends a particularly long time in a certain area of the  
.bashrc execution, however, Cygwin is indeed a lot slower than Unix when  
shell scripting, because creating Unix processes is very costly in Cygwin,  
and that is an operation that happens a lot in shell scripts...
