I have reported this problem to the gnu emacs developers a few times, but it 
seems that emacs is not actively maintained for cygwin right now.  perhaps 
someone here can help?  I am happy to provide more details if needed.   
thanks...

A brief problem description:

memory usage of emacs does not decrease after killing buffers with images.

details:

I start emacs with

emacs.exe -q --no-site-file&

the memory usage right after startup is 14912;

after editing a small image: 16452;

after killing the buffer with the image and using M-:(clear-image-cache 
t)RET: 16476;

after editing a large image: 39164;

again quit+clear cache: 34484;

edit small+medium+large images: 58936;

quit+clear: 87636...  (increased!)

I hope someone can look into this, and I am happy to provide information 
given specific instructions.

thanks...  EU
