yeah mingw is cutting edge so not all gems are yet compatible with it. 
It would be interesting to look into it and try and see why.

I'm not sure why it would start with higher memory use.  Make sure 
you're not using p355 which has a memory leak :)

Does yours use 100% cpu when you are in script/console? [or irb, for 
that matter]?
Thanks!
