Ok, so is there any more I can do in this regard?

So this issue seems to be related to windows/cygwin only.
Atleast that narrows it down a bit :)
Similar to what I experienced on my Ubuntu machine.
I copied the john.pot over, and did a show.
JTR used up 96-98% of RAM during the show (machine has 1 Gb)
So maybe there is room for improving the memory usage during the show
procedure? Or is it as good as it can be?

No, I am using ver 1.7.2 - hence my confusion about the reported "make"
being used when compiling "linux-x86-64" - [64/64 BS] instead of
[128/128 BS SSE2]....

Ah yeah, I got do focused on the SSE2 thing, because I did not get that with
"linux-x86-64" - so was blind to the apcence of "64" in this make type...
