Assuming similar storage specs, it may be that Windows is inherently
slower than Unix (possibly), or maybe LC less optimized there (likely).
But such a dramatic difference with that specific evidence merits
another test.
Windows Explorer definitely has a longer default period between
automatic directory listings than the macOS Finder. You can see it in
many contexts.
Maybe better would be to set the cursor to watch on save, and time that.
Better still might be to time the milliseconds from the beginning of the
save until after the OS returns control to your script when it's done.
I suspect you'll still see a difference, but not nearly as dramatic as
the slower refresh rates in the file manager UI.
