How could it not? At the end of the day cygwin is still calling the
same API's that the native version uses, isn't it?
To easily recreate it, try installing an aggressive on-access virus
scanner (which are required in lots of Windows shops, unfortunately).
The problem is also much worse in a multiprocessor machine (because
tag-alongs can run faster or more concurrently, I suppose).
