I've tried this lots of times & it seems to be repeatable (I even created 10 instances of gvim in a loop and they all appeared straightaway).I tried removing the HOME environment variable from cygwin (it's not set to anything in the Windows system, whereas it's set to /home/al in cygwin) and ran the command again from the cygwin terminal and it took a long time to start. I reset HOME to /home/al and it still took a long time to start! Opening a new cygwin terminal resulted in a quick start again. This is really weird!
I repeated this test on the other work PC and got exactly the same results. I also tested it on my home PC and, while the startup time is much faster from the command prompt than on my work PCs, even on the home PC gvim starts quicker from a cygwin prompt than from a Windows command prompt.
