This is a result of the change in the default server DPI announced in

   http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree-announce/2010-04/msg00000.html

As the announcement states, you may want to set Xft.dpi in your 
~/.Xdefaults.  Setting it to 75 will restore the previous font and frame 
sizes in emacs under X11.
