If there is enough memory to use, the number of cycle is 1.
Cyclic mode in 1-cycle is the same as non-cyclic mode in theory.
If slow, it's better to improve cyclic mode implementation.

To be honest, I think the current non-cyclic mode should be implemented as 1-cycle case. Then, makedumpfile can reduce amount of code at the same time.
