This was just weird behavior by cygwin. I renamed the file to
sumcpp.exe and it works then. 

$ time sumcpp.exe < sum.txt
2048000

real    0m0.952s

if I rename it back to sum.exe

$ time sum.exe < sum.txt
58339 21572

Weird.

In any case, yes this was faster. Using the same file with java, 

$ time java -server sumcol < sum.txt
2048000

real    0m0.992s

That's pretty strange. what version does it show when you type java
-version?
