thanks for the details :-)
I'll maybe quote or use them one day...

But Cygwin is slooow, especially file access, e.g using git under
Cygwin is almost impossible.

Where possible, use msys (and mingw) instead of cygwin. Cygwin goes a
lot further in its posix support and simulation of a linux-style system.
But that means more layers to handle the fundamental differences
between Linux and Windows, and that costs in performance even if you
don't need it. Msys/mingw is simpler - you don't get features that
windows can't support, but what you do get runs at native speeds.

I don't know if git will run with msys (and something like ActivePerl),
but if it does, it will be much faster than with cygwin. Slower than
under Linux, but not as bad.

Hi, all parallel features are identical in both Windows and Linux.
