Is the Windows native port gonna help this? If someone says it will, or
if pg_dba is willing to give it a try by going here:
http://techdocs.postgresql.org/guides/InstallingOnWindows
and installing the beta of the native version and see if that helps.
If that can't do what you want you may need to build a unix server to
handle it, at least temporarily.
If you are gonna do it in Unix, search the general, performance, and admin
lists for all the info you need to setting the kernel to handle it first,
then the database to second. Things like max files, semaphores etc...
Can you even change that kind of stuff in cygwin? Or is it hard coded in?
