Thanks for the report.  I've rectified this problem in the current
snapshot since it was due to code that I checked in.

It turned out that the addition of /dev/dsp code in cygwin 1.3.1 slowed
down the cygwin dll by more than 10% in some cases.  This was due to the
initialization of a large buffer on every invocation of cygwin.  I
changed the code to just initialize the buffer when /dev/dsp was
actually used but I forgot to accomodate stdout redirection.

It should be fixed now, though.
