See the procmail man page.
I've read all man page and all related manpages.
Hmm...
What about the following?
$ man procmail

Suspicious rcfile "x" The owner of the rcfile was not the recipient
or root, the file was world writable, or the
directory that contained it was world
writable, or this was the default rcfile
($HOME/.procmailrc) and either it was group
writable or the directory that contained it
was group writable (the rcfile was not used).

As for testing on a Unix box, I'm in that category of Cygwin users who
need to make something work in a Windows environment. My question
relates more to whether I should be disppointed or satisfied with the
results.
I suggested a comparison to help you find the "bottleneck." If the cost
of the fork (of procmail) is the issue, then Cygwin is slowing you down.
If the network speed or the way that fetchmail interacts with the mail
server is the issue, then it's not. Note these are just some ideas...
I will leave it to you to dig deeper, if interested.
