Not enough information. I created this exciting test application:
#include <stdio.h>
char i[132*1024*1024];
int main ()
{
getchar();
return 0;
}
and started it under 1.5.9, casuing the commit charge going from 189 to
322 MB. So what? See http://cygwin.com/problems.html

Cygwin is emulating POSIX on top of Windows. You'd expect some slowdown
for the overhead.
