Thanks for the report. I've rectified this problem in the current
snapshot since it was due to code that I checked in.
It turned out that the addition of /dev/dsp code in cygwin 1.3.1 slowed
down the cygwin dll by more than 10% in some cases. This was due to the
initialization of a large buffer on every invocation of cygwin. I
changed the code to just initialize the buffer when /dev/dsp was
actually used but I forgot to accomodate stdout redirection.
It should be fixed now, though.
