Not the last time I benchmarked it (which was long before filter-showIncludes.pl). For the most part the slowness of forking on windows was related to some latency, i.e. a new process would take some time to get started, but it wouldnt eat cycles for that, thus making it irrelevant in a parallel build (where its all about the cpu cycles eaten). Also note that forking and process creation are exactly the point where various virus-scanners hook in (and some fubar the memory layout of the forked process: http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.bloda).
