I saw that you took my formulation, but you kept the word `slower':
`[User needs MinGW or Cygwin ...] The latter is slower and larger
[...]'.

I reformulated that, partly because I didn't like the `slower'. What
is meant with that? Does it execute slower, or is the download slower,
or ...?

I have nothing to do with the Cygwin project besides that I use it,
but in my opinion the word `slower' makes Cygwin look bad, and I don't
think it deserves that. I (and probably the first-time AUCTeX user,
too) don't understand what `slower' means. `Larger' means that the
download will take longer, so that is something I understand. But
slower?

Sorry for arguing about one single word in the documentation...
