We did not for performance reasons.  I gather that Cygwin places the X
traffic on its own IP stack which then talks to the Windows network
stack and thus introduces considerable latency.  This is why Xming
performs better; it directly uses the native Windows network stack.

In fact, we are eagerly anticipating better performance in general using
libssh rather than ssh via Cygwin for the same reason - John
