I second that. I'm running cygwin on an XP-machine and it's really fast.
Due to a mysterious quirk in the FC5 installer, all X-related programmes 
are removed from my disk, therefore I cannot work -temporarily I hope - 
graphic on that system Well text mode let you do almost everything). 
However, cygwin happily shows me most of the graphic programs (e.g. a 
weather display using gnu plot).
