Optimize cygwin on recent windows version (Vista and Seven)

[Vincent R.]

Hi,

Until now I was using cygwin on Windows XP and I was satisfied by
cygwin-1.7 but these last few days
I switched to a more powerful laptop with very fast hardware (Core Duo 3.0
Ghz and SSD OCZ Vertex)
and running windows Seven.
Now when I test cygwin, everything is so sloooooowww, I know this is not
something new but do you plan
to work on this issue ?
>From what I know, the problem comes from fork implementation but actually
as a user I don't care
where does it come from I am only noticing I cannot work anymore with
cygwin.
Have you ever thought of something to improve things ? 
Will it be one day possible ? Are you lacking some information from MS ?
It's so annoying that with very modern hardware I feel like runnning a
windows 3.1 on a 128 KB system ...
If you answer that it's not possible to do better, in this case I will to
find alternatives.
Don't know if mingw could be one of them ?
