When I coded and was releasing MSYS my final test before release was to build GCC. If it didn't work I had more work to do. I don't code and release MSYS any longer and I'm not sure what checks are done. However, if GCC doesn't build, I would think it is a regression that needs documented in the SF MinGW project bug tracker. As for the slowness, well, much of Windows OS is slower than Linux, just a fact of life. The emulation and string manipulation MSYS must do though would slow down the process a bit more.
