Not so strange, in my experience with Cygwin.  Lots of security things
interpose themselves in ways that interfere.  In a way, that is what
they're designed to do - to intercept and block certain things.  But
sometimes they just slow down something they allow, something that
Cygwin does a lot, but that other Windows programs don't do so much,
so the purveyor perhaps never noticed the issue (or won't care because
the affected population is too small to be worth the effort).
