whichever part you use the most inside your tightest inner loop.
seriously.
that's a big huge open ended question (not about cygwin, about ANY
library/platform) that is as specific to your application as you can
get. For example, if you spend 75% of your computing day manipulating
text files and piping them and greping them and running file utils
against them then the cr/lf translation may be a big hit for you.
On the otherhand if most of your computation in a day is spent answering
requests that come in on tcp/ip sockets then the remapping of winsock
to netinet.h functions maybe your major headache. (note, I'm not trying
to imply that either function has a performance problem, merely that they
would be representative places that would have high invocation counts
in the course of the given activity.)
To really answer that for your application/workload then you need to
get some form of performance detailing that can tell you how much time
you are spending in any given method and how often it's called.
