That has nothing to do with console support per se. The speed of cygwin/MSYS and other GNU ported projects (gcc in particular) is dependant on other factors like process startup time. The programs usually spawn external processes and do that in not so efficient way (not to say that it's easy to make it efficient in Windows because of all the backwards compatibility code)...

I wish it has good and fast console support. Currently console/console apps in Windows are god damn slow compared to Unix. I mean speed of drawing and executing console apps. Run configure script in Windows (cygwin) and Linux, then compare speed of both.
