a simple way to do it.
If I did it in a working scenario I'd install the Cygwin
tools and run the same bash script that I'd use on Linux.
I'm not sure how this would work as a benchmark though.
There may be more efficient ways to spawn processes in
windows than the cygwin emulation of fork.
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...
Good idea.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
