Does your Windows shortcut run a cygwin gvim? I'm not sure where
cygwin fits into this picture, otherwise.

You do know there is a native Vim installer for Windows, right?

I'm wondering if the extra startup time for the shortcut might have to
do with starting the cygwin environment or something. Really you've
given almost zero detail as to what your setup is.

What options do you pass Vim? What version of Vim are you running? Are
you launching the same Vim executable from your shortcut as from
cygwin? If not, is it the same version? Do they use the same startup
files?
