I had to add -Wl,-kill-at to the LDFLAGS so it works.

Now I did, and the difference is quite noticable: real 15m37.281s user 5m6.934s sys 15m53.911s (Note that I did not spend time to increase the N, so there is no point in putting a percentage on the difference.) I wonder whether we could patch sh.exe so it loads user32.dll _lazily_ rather than using the xser32.dll hack?

They are pretty intensive, as they are shell scripts all over the place in their own right. I fear, however, that the real problem (maybe not on WINE, but with real Windows) is that sh.exe needs to provide too many POSIX-like things when starting new processes. I fear, further, that the only way to make things more efficient on Windows is to get rid of the many exec() calls and do more things in-process. (If this is true, JGit should kick msysGit's ass.) This would not apply to the test suite, though, which needs to stay a shell script suite. But maybe I am wrong, and the performance is lost through memory management and filesystem interaction.
