How do you suppose Cygwin is managing this interesting feat of only
using some of the CPU time?  What Windows API is Cygwin using to just
grab a small slice of the time?

As a follow-up question:  Why do you suppose we are punishing you by
not allowing Cygwin to use all of the CPU by default?

Oh.  Wait.  WJM.  Nevermind.
