I suspect that I haven't tested exactly the same version as you, but I had
a quick look at testing this on Cygwin today. I have included a complete
transcript (below), so you can see what I did wrong! :-P

The corresponding times for me were:
(master) (with the series)
real 0m9.760s real 0m5.744s
user 0m0.531s user 0m0.656s
sys 0m5.726s sys 0m3.520s
So, yes, a noticeable improvement! :)
