If you are experiencing performance issues, do you have a multi-core system
or multiple CPUs? N/A

I am essentially trying to point puttycyg to my 64bit cygwin installation and 
not the 32 bit. Is this possible?

The FAQ (https://code.google.com/p/puttycyg/wiki/FAQ) says "As of PuTTYcyg 
version 20090508, setting the working directory will allow you to turn off the 
Autodetect Cygwin Installation and use multiple Cygwin installations on your 
system."

But I don't see any way to "set the working directory (Start in:) to your 
Cygwin installation's /bin directory"

I'm using PuTTYcyg 20101029 and there is no "Start in:" field, neither under 
the Cygterm specific option or the general PuTTY connection options.

I use PuTTYcyg version 20101029, and modify the work directory to cygwin 64bits.
I got the message
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close 
the application." in Chinese.

I gave up ages ago and am just using the default mintty now, and am very happy 
with it. I have forgotten the original reason why I moved to PuTTYcyg anyway..

Ha, I use mintty, too.  Because "byobu" can't work fine with cygwin 64bits 
mintty, I want to try PuTTYcyg.

Did anybody have luck using PuTTYcyg with Cygwin 64?

I don't think it's compatible, as the required cygwin1.dll files are different. 
The same applies to KiTTY as well.
