1. Cygwin is very slow. Remarkably so. I guess this might be just
how it is when a Unix environment is being emulated by Microsoft
Windows, but I haven't seen it (the slowness) alluded to in this
list, so maybe not.

common problems, often alluded to on this list (if you mean taking over twice the time of linux):
running McAfee or the like in the mode where it scans each command for virus each time it is executed
bad network path setup
unnecessary background jobs
