I managed to reproduce the issue and I think I found the actual problem
here.  When trying to create the supplementary group list of the current
user, Cygwin called LookupAccountSids indiscriminately.  If you don't
have access to your AD, this call is bound to take some time, 5 to 10
secs in my testing.

I changed the code so that when "group: db" is set in /etc/nsswitch.conf
it will only utilize /etc/group to fetch group information.

I uploaded a new developer snapshot containing this patch to
https://cygwin.com/snapshots/  Please give it a try.  For testing, just
replace your current DLL with the snapshot DLL temporarily.


Thanks,
Corinna
