Cygwin is just emulating POSIX by calling Windows functions.  It's not
an operating system which runs natively on the machine, so what do
you expect?  If you're unhappy with scp's performance you can try
using:

- sftp

- tar over ssh:

    tar cf - dir-to-copy | ssh remotemachine 'cd targetdir && tar xf -'
