I'd be interested to know how he finds they compare.. (if they try
both).

The native version stands a chance of being faster - as it has less
levels of indirection to go through. The Cygwin version probably uses
X11, but then I'm not sure how performant the Win32 cairo backend is
either.


If they get this far.. I'd be especially interested to hear how well
tools like gsch2pcb and gnetlist run under Win32. I've run gnetlist
under cmd.exe before now, but I can't recall having tried the full
gsch2pcb workflow.


Best wishes,

Peter C.
