I managed to install it after some time (for the reasons explained below) and brought up a Cygwin terminal. During a script run initiated in the Cygwin terminal, I noticed that after a very short while, the execution would slow down to a crawl. The script was running but in very slow motion. I looked at the sequence of events using a windows sysinternals tool and found that there is a delay in starting (forking?) a new command (e.g. ls) of precisely 20 seconds which is strange. The script runs normally but very very slowly. I noticed a side effect too. After the slowing down in Cygwin, certain windows apps behaved the same way as though there was cross contamination from Cygwin. Windows Task Manager takes about 40 second to appear and same for the Windows Command Window. Flash extension in the Chrome browser would continuously fail to start. To repair the situation I had to reboot. To make sure that Cygwin was not still active, I aborted all bash.exe processes that were running and the problem continued to persist. Is this a known problem? For me it makes Cygwin completely unusable which is a pity.
