If you are serious about performance, you will not stay with Cygwin -- for the purposes of Git. Do not get me wrong: Cygwin is a wonderful thing if your goal is to spare yourself a lot of trouble with that seriously challenged win32 API. But if your goal is to get the most out of the Win32 API in terms of speed, you _will_ have to go with MinGW (at least, as long as you are unwilling to shell out big bucks in the vague direction of Redmond, and add some time tax to that). Now, we _do_ have msysGit, you _do_ have shown the capability to fix issues when they arise, so I do _not_ see any obstacle why you should not go msysGit, rather than staying with the pain of trying to stay POSIX-compatible, but not quite all the time.
