This, I don't know.  I only have ~500 files in /bin, and that of course will
vary depending on what packages are installed.

This I do: Those are just mount table entries.  Memory usage won't change
regardless of the number or size of files in the directory a Cygwin mount
table entry points to.  So there's no consequence there.
