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.
