I do agree Cygwin isn't the best solution, and I know that VC6 is the cause
of Ruby's one-click slowness, but I was speaking in terms of which was
faster, and absent a native Ruby that is compiled with VC8, Cygwin is twice
as fast at the current time.

On a different note, I'm delighted to find out about Xming!  I hadn't heard
of it until now.  I've got some checking out to do of it  Thanks!
