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.
