Things may improve if you use cygserver and env. var. "CYGWIN=server".

Can you elaborate on this? I've looked at the documentation for cygserver and can't see why it would be relevant. I confess, however, that I didn't understand much of the documentation beyond the first paragraph. The latter says:


  Cygserver is a program which is designed to run as a background service.
  It provides Cygwin applications with services which require security
  arbitration or which need to persist while no other cygwin application
  is running.

Does emacs require such services?
