slow bash spawn

The recent setup.exe update has caused bash.exe to have startup times approx. 
10x longer than before.  sh.exe starts pretty quickly but bash.exe via 
cygwin.bat takes ~30 seconds to start.  Took just a couple of seconds before.  
Cpu is nowhere near pinned, hovering around 3% or 5%.

Each bash process spawn from within bash takes a long time as well 
making ./configure and make take a lot longer than before.

Similar problem here: http://www.nabble.com/Slow-compile-issue-with-cygwin-
make-since-v1.5.17-t3235008.html

Interestingly enough, sh.exe spawns relatively quickly.

Anyone else had similar problems or, more importantly, found a solution?

Running XP sp2 on a fresh, plain vanilla cygwin install.  antivirus is not the 
problem as bash started just fine on cygwin release just a few weeks ago.

TIA,
Marc
