I'm assuming you have an adequate network connection, because obviously
pull will take a long time if your network connection is very slow.

Absolutely not. As a counter example, I just did a pull of the monotone
database in twenty minutes on my Windows/MingW box (a 2.0GHz Opteron).
Note that this was using a binary built from monotone head using MingW
rather than Cygwin, and the pull was from a copy of of the monotone
database located on a local LAN, so it's not precisely apples to apple.
However, the output of 'time' indicates most of your time was spent
processing rather than waiting on network I/O, so it's not a totally
unfair comparison.
Cygwin is generally quite slow compared to native applications. I
wouldn't have thought it would be this bad, but then again I wouldn't be
totally surprised if your performance problems disappeared if you
rebuilt using MingW (you might be able to get away with building under
Cygwin and specifying the -mno-cygwin compiler option in the right
places).

My build was with Boost 1.32.0, GCC 3.3, MingW 3.2.1-rc1, and default
compiler options.

Unfortunately, no. It's not really possible to do this with the current
model because the client doesn't have a way of knowing how much work is
left to do. There has been considerable done on improving performance
in the last couple of releases, so hopefully the lack of a progress
indicator will become less of an issue.
