With cygwin you should have top, vmstat and of course ps.
All of these can monitor system status,. top being very similar to
XPs Task Manager process view but in a text window. vmstat will
not tell you process IDs, just report total usage. And ps is single
shot so you could run it (via subprocess, say) after processing each
100 files or somesuch

Take your pick...
