Please tell more details.  How does one see the ``progressive slowdown
to a crawl''?  Can you post some timing information for sample
commands?  I don't think I see this with a native build of Grep, but
what is fast for me could be a ``crawl'' for you, who knows?

Alternatively, please try using the native build of Grep (from
GnuWin32 site), and see if this problem goes away.  Then we will know
for sure it has something to do with Cygwin.
