I just thought of a derelict pair of virtualbox containers, that were set up
to simulate domain environment of my workplace. Glad they are still in a good
shape... for tests. Here are the results:
Round 1: Running `id' command 50 times:
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 station1 1.7.29s(0.271/5/3) 20140228 15:31:43 i686 Cygwin

CYGWIN_NT-5.1 station1 1.7.29s(0.271/5/3) 20140228 15:31:43 i686 Cygwin
Default caching settings.
Timer 1 Elapsed: 0:00:36,33

Round 2: Running /bin/true same 50 times:
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 station1 1.7.29s(0.271/5/3) 20140228 15:31:43 i686 Cygwin

I find it interesting, that running `id' with caching disabled takes about 2
times longer, than when any form of caching is enabled.
But overall, when caching is set to minimum, having more than 200
supplementary groups attached to your profile doesn't impose alot of trouble
on process startup times, as I can see.
The Cygwin installation in this test was a fresh one, augmented with stuff
from x86/cygwin-inst-20140228.tar.xz archive.
