cpu usage capped?

Hi all,

I have some code that takes advantage of 8 cores on my machine using
OpenMP. Under plain ol windows, this code causes all the CPUs to max
out at 99%. But when recompiled for cygwin, each core jumps to about
85%. The rest is not being used by other processes. Could someone
explain why this is the case?

Thanks
