Ah.  That explains the low cpu timings then.  I don't exactly understand
why, but the newer snapshots weren't accurately reporting timings.  In
fact, AFAICT, up until now, all Cygwin DLLs were inaccurate whenever an
exec*() was used.  But, recent snapshots were even more inaccurate than
what had gone before.

So, your elapsed time figures will probably show more cpu usage with today's
snapshot.
