On Windows, the filesystem can be quite a bottleneck.
Said bottleneck is almost always related to anti-virus programs, if you are accessing a lot of files the latency of the scanner green light can be pretty awful.
I know that rustup, the Rust installation tool, used to be around an order of magnitude slower on Windows than Linux, with the same hardware platform. It turns out that the maximum throughput for AV+NTFS is about the same as for Linux, so by making all the file create/write/close operations async, they managed to get speed parity.
