Thanks for the testcase and the timing results. Very interesting. I
would expect a significant slowdown using Cygwin, but didn't expect
this bad.

Here's what I get on Ppro 200, 128MB, NT SP3/FAT, no CYGWIN env var,
all binary mounts:

Cygwin B20:
    real    1m39.00s
    user    0m29.00s
    sys     1m4.00s

Specifying CYGWIN=nontea drops the time a few seconds.

MSVC
    real    0m15.00s
    user    0m3.00s
    sys     0m10.00s

UWIN
    real    0m53.00s
    user    0m17.00s
    sys     0m36.00s

Your Cygwin time is much higher than mine for some reason.
