If you are seeing it consuming max-cpu, then it's likely that the meteor
code is missing a select on the poll - I will take a look. I've used the
Cygwin com-port support under windows extensively in general, and it works
just fine. It certainly shouldn't max out the cpu. Out of interest, which
version of windows are you using?
