Since Cygwin is an emulation layer running on Windows, performance of
PostgreSQL + Cygwin isn't comparable to a pure *nix environment.
For instance, above 50 concurrent connections, Cygwin starts getting
unstable which is why we hard code a conneciton limit in our Windows
version of Mammoth PosgreSQL. For this reason, PostgreSQL + Cygwin is
typically used in development or low-load environments.
It's still usuable, just not as scalable as a pure linux/unix solution.
