Just for the record, I tested your script on my MSVC-built version
and compared to your cygwin-compiled version. While the cygwin
version gives 2.8440, the MSVC version gives 4.1875. However,
the MSVC version I used contains debugging info. An optimized
version (a 2.9.12+ test package I still have installed) gives 1.8438.
