Hola!

I've just installed cygwin for a development that i need to do in windows
and cannot get my programs to use more than 50% of CPU time.

Administrator AT IVC ~
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 IVC 1.3.2(0.39/3/2) 2001-05-20 23:28 i686 unknown

Administrator AT IVC ~
$ cat a.c
main()
{
while(1);
}

Administrator AT IVC ~
$ ./a.exe

and in the task manager it gets:

image name         CPU
a.exe               50
System Idle Proc    50

(rest of the processes are at 0)

Administrator AT IVC ~
$ ulimit -a
core file size (blocks)     bash: ulimit: cannot get limit: Invalid argument
data seg size (kbytes)      bash: ulimit: cannot get limit: Invalid argument
file size (blocks)          bash: ulimit: cannot get limit: Invalid argument
open files                  bash: ulimit: cannot get limit: Invalid argument
pipe size (512 bytes)       26
stack size (kbytes)         bash: ulimit: cannot get limit: Invalid argument
cpu time (seconds)          bash: ulimit: cannot get limit: Invalid argument
max user processes          63

Some help? I need to run some CPU intensive processes and I don't like the
idea of having to get a box twice as fast to do the some work...

Thanks in advance,
					HoraPe
