Cygwin is slower.  Cygwin is known to be slower.  And, if you give it
a few minutes of thought it is obvious why Cygwin has to be slower.

I assume that anyone who doesn't understand why cygwin programs have to
be slower than normal windows programs also complains bitterly about the
loss of power in their VW Bug since they started pulling a trailer
around everywhere they go.  What's up with that?  That's the real
puzzler.
