I'm curious, just what memory are you talking about?  How did you determine
that Cygwin "reports only 1M"?  There is a registry setting, heap_chunk_in_mb,
that defines the size of the heap in Cygwin.  Is this what you're talking 
about?  It shouldn't be set to 1MB.  Go ahead and change it to whatever you
want.  Some Win 9x users reported problems if the value of this setting was
too high though.  YMMV.
