Any questions?

 
If you insist: why is bash so slow?

That’s an easy one to answer. Do you want me to try it again?

On my Win11 AMD 5600G machine, to create and delete 100K files:
>
WSL Ubuntu bash: 141.2s create,  1.4s delete, 142.6 total (your script)
PowerShell     :  21.2s create, 10.5s delete,  31.7 total Python + cmd 
:  16.6s create,  6.7s delete,  23.3 total
 
ouch!

Going through the Windows filesystem bottleneck, naturally. Try it on
a genuine Linux system, not on WSL2.

By the way, I thought you were scared to try this on your poor,
fragile Dimdows machine, in case something broke?

How’s it holding up so far? Did you have to do a reinstall afterwards?
