We still get severe performance problems with Cygwin 3.5 on Windows 10
with MAXPATH disabled, i.e. Control/FileSystem/LongPathsEnabled are
enabled.

One huge customer issue is the exponential slowdown for deep paths, e.g.
mkdir -p 0/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/a//b/c/d/e/f/g/h/o/j/k/l/m/n/o/p/q/r/t/s/u/v/w/x/y/z/
cd 0/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/a//b/c/d/e/f/g/h/o/j/k/l/m/n/o/p/q/r/t/s/u/v/w/x/y/z/

Now do something in that dir, like svn checkout. It will be
exponential slower as you add more subdirs to the base path.

Seen with a NIH customer, who switched from SFU to Cygwin with the
update to Windows 10, and is now unhappy about the slowdown.
