complains about the cygwin/gcc binaries

[wxie]

In the ROOT downloading website: 
http://root.cern.ch/drupal/content/production-versio
n-528
It says:
"Note that the performance of cygwin/gcc binaries is currently very 
poor; we only pro
vide this build as an unsupported toy. We strongly recommend to use the 
version above compiled with VC++. The ROOT team will not answer any 
messages related to problems with the win32gcc version"

What's the reason of the poor performance. Is there any way to improve that?

Thanks
