I'm surprised this much indirection goes this fast

I’ve found that it’s rather convenient to load Cygwin onto my Windows XP VM so I can send an xterm to my Linux desktop, while the actual VM desktop sits idle in another virtual desktop. The VM is accessing a network mount of a directory shared from Linux (where the source code is living) to run a build, and it’s all moving at a reasonable speed.
