I started using cygserver and edited its config file to use 310 procs
instead of 62.  In /etc/cygserver.conf, I edited the following:

# kern.srv.process_cache_size: No. of concurrent processes which can be handled
#                              by Cygserver concurrently.
# Default: 62, Min: 1, Max: 310, command line option -p, --process-cache
kern.srv.process_cache_size 310

I also set the CYGWIN var like this:

$ echo $CYGWIN
server ntsec

I believe I set that variable in the Windows XP environment, that is,
System Properties dialog, Advance Tab, Environment Variables button. 
Let me check ... yes, I did.

I don't remember how to set up cygserver to start as a service but the
doc was very clear.  You, of course, need cygrunsrv to run cygserver.

Here's the output of ps -ef:

Hope that helps,
