You're on W2K, I'm on XP, maybe there's a difference? I can easily
reproduce nearly 0% CPU with 1000 threads if no Cygwin process is
present and nearly 99% if a Cygwin process is present.
Even if we can't do much about it, it would be interesting to find out
how Cygwin affects CPU usage of non-Cygwin processes.
