Wow, that is such a massive difference, I suspect something's seriously wrong with your cygwin perl v5.36.3 environment ... so I suggest you run your test program on cygwin with various tools to try to understand why on earth it's taking so long. Some tools you might try:
Other suggestions welcome. I suspect a system level tool (such as VTune) is the best bet in this case, hopefully it will reveal something glaringly wrong (as it did for me here).
For future reference, posting a test program using Benchmark, that anyone can run with zero effort, is the ideal way to get help on these sorts of performance problems (see Fastest way to lookup a point in a set (update: and Re: Confused by RegEx count by choroba) for examples).
