But how does it come that there can be such a difference doing nearly
the same things on Linux and Windows? I can't believe that Windows is
*such* a bad design. They all cook with water I think.
It would be interesting to see a comparison on the same filesystem. E.g.
fat32 or ext2 (using ext2ifs). NTFS is a bad example because it is
implemented on Linux using a user file system driver (fuse), which might
influence the performance test.
@Martin: How does the IDE ask for the last modification time (on Linux
and on Windows)? I can then crawl through the source code (for Windows
using ReactOS) to see what both OSes are basically doing.
