If you mean for 1.9.x then there is no way to predict that.

It's possible that the next major release will introduce cygwin2.dll.  That
would be a long time coming.

I don't know if anyone has done timings.  Compiling Cygwin with gcc4 has
decreased its size relatively speaking but I haven't look lately to see
how it fares against cygwin-1.5.x.  Given all of the features that Corinna
added I think it's likely that 1.7.x is bigger and potentially slower to
load.
