You've installed the experimental Cygwin 1.7 package.  I doubt that
you want to complicate the process of looking for the source of this
problem by working with experimental Cygwin software.  I suggest you
re-run 'setup.exe' from the Cygwin home page and reinstall the Cygwin
1.5 package - 1.5.25-15.

Cygwin does not build with VC2008.  It builds with gcc/g++.  See
<http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.programming.building-cygwin>.
But the problem really lies with Logitech.  You should contact them if you
need a solution to this problem.

You said before that you saw the same performance problems with 'cygcheck'.
Have you tried other Win32 command line programs?  Do they have a problem?
If so, then this really is caused by something other than Cygwin.  You also
said that you've uninstalled the Logitech webcam.  Did you also reboot.
This is often necessary to remove all hooks of faulty software from the
system.
