A couple of weeks ago I ran the GnuGo regression tests for both
a cygwin (GNU C) and VC built gnugo.exe.  I ran them in parallel,
starting each at the same time.  The VC built program ended about
5-10% faster (that is 5-10 minutes out of 2 hours total run time.)

I believe that you can, but I'll pass on this to Teun;  there's
lots of good information about this on www.cygwin.com.
