SkyDrive is not a network-mounted directory. Instead, it is a local
directory that is periodically synced to the cloud. But you can have
no network access at all and it works fine. Indeed, when running
cygwin offline (no network) I get the same result. Also, if I change
my home directory to something that is not synced to the cloud (e.g.
just c:\) I get the same slowness.

I have been keeping my home directory in SkyDrive for a while so I
have the same home directory across multiple devices. The slowness is
only recent, long after I started using SkyDrive.
