I don't think speed itself will be a problem, unless the scripts are
really naive and involve lots of forks.  However, as I noted before,
scripts cannot be invoked from non-Cygwin programs.

...but doesn't the script itself involve a fork? On a big project, with an extra fork for every source file, that can still add up.
