I was actually intending to investigate the context
switching aspects of XP vs Linux. Installing Cygwin
seems a little bit high overhead (in disc space, etc.)
to me. I may have still installed a MinGW on my XP
partition. That might be a way...
If you calculate that space requirement in terms of
cost at current disk prices it probably wouldn't
sound that bad.
