I've seen windows defender get in the way & slow things down before -
this doesn't look anything like that but how does one know for sure?

when running the cygwin gcc version sysinternals process explorer shows
  system idle process 72.x
  a.exe                      24.9x
  procexp64.exe           1.x
and everything else is < 1%
CPU is an Intel i3 w/ 4 logical processors, so I'm guessing that 25%
cpu busy is one processor 100% busy

It looks roughly the same when running the mingw gcc version .. except
that a.exe shows 24.9x% cpu busy for a much shorter time :)

In any case, I tried turning off windows defender - no change in how
long it takes calloc-test to run  (i already had c:\cygwin in the
exclusion list)

which flavor of gcc - the cygwin version that builds an executable
that pulls in the posix emulation layer or the mingw version that
builds an executable that runs "native" windows code?

Thanks,
Lee
