Dropbear - Cygwin - Performance

Hi,

still struggling with the problem described in a previous post
("Transfer of large 
files fails on forwarded ports", 2001-01-11).

If I use dropbear on a Debian/GNU Linux system, setup remote port
forwarding 
(including "-a"), connect from a client machine (Win, putty) and HTTP
GET a file
through the tunnel all is like expected - fast.

The same setup but the server is a Cygwin/dropbear combination I
experience 
huge performance degradation (at least tenfold, even more).

Any hints for this setup?
Thanks
Michael
