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.
