OK, I'll explain my thinking.
My understanding of cygwin suggests to me that when we are not 
performing any kind of system-based work (ie when we are just sorting 
vectors, calculating maths, the kind of deep computational work) there 
should be little difference between mingw32 and cygwin.
I'm away from my cygwin installation at the moment, but when I get back 
to it I intend to test that I think :)
