The slow (4s) startup was from an early 1.7.35 DLL before that of 20150220.

>From an earlier message (2015-02-17):

1) Running cygwin "echo.exe" from a cmd.exe command shell

a) With passwd: files and group: files in /etc/nsswitch.conf
  0.03 - 0.4 s

b) With 1.7.34 and default /etc/nsswitch.conf

  around 120s

C) With 1.7.35 and default /etc/nsswitch.conf

  4.4 - 4.6s

I'll try to find time to give this a go too.
