[Zope] Zope & Cygwin

Hello all, My goal is to later transition our Win32 Zope installation to Linux (probably Gentoo). To keep scripts etc. consistent between the two installations during transition, I've currently installed Zope under Cygwin and everything thus far seems to be running fine. Start-up is Extremely slow, which I don't mind for now. Anyone else using this set-up? I'd be very interested in getting feedback. If anyone is aware of any scripts that can give me some rough benchmarks, that would be very much appreciated. I'd like to keep the Cygwin instance of Zope running for testing and development purposes later. Thanks. Samir
