I'm saying my buildfarm members differ from each other.

In fact, on the last run of each, MinGW was by far the slowest and 
Cygwin the fastest in the "make check" step. But there could be any 
number of reasons for that, including extraneous activity on the VM host 
that could have slowed the whole VM down.

Anyway, comparing regression test speeds is probably not very productive.
