calloc speed difference

[Lee]

Why is the cygwin gcc calloc so much slower than the
i686-w64-mingw32-gcc calloc?
  1:12 vs 0:11

$cat calloc-test.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define ALLOCATION_SIZE (100 * 1024 * 1024)
int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {
    for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++) {
        void *temp = calloc(ALLOCATION_SIZE, 1);
        if ( temp == NULL ) {
           printf("drat! calloc returned NULL\n");
           return 1;
        }
        free(temp);
    }
    return 0;
}

$gcc calloc-test.c
$time ./a
