My guess is because Windows uses synchronous IO and Linux uses
asynchronous IO. I'm no Windows expert so I don't know for sure, or if
there is a way to improve performance on Windows.
Chances are by paying money for Windows Server or some sort of third-
party commercial add-on the problem can be fixed. Sorry for that
comment... I guess I'm a little jaded. Actually, with the mini-laptop
I got last year I SO wanted Windows Vista to work well since it
supports more in theory... but I'll admit I gave up after the 5th
problem that I couldn't find a reasonable solution for... so now it's
Ubuntu 9.04 running native and WinXP in VMWare for me...

I have the same experience with Windows box.
Thanks in advance.

What kind of hardware are you running this on?
I've heard of long build/install/run times on Windows because of the
synchronous IO, but usually on Linux it's not too bad. On my tiny
laptop it
takes about 30 minutes on Windows and about 5 minutes on Linux to
do an "ant
run-install" from source code only (ie nothing pre-built).
