Is Darcs slower on Windows and MacOS X than
on Linux?

I don't know if this is a new one, but 'darcs whatsnew' with hashed repositories on Windows seems to have a performance problem:

$ darcs show repo
          Type: darcs
        Format: hashed
          Root: d:/builds/ghc-testing
      Pristine: HashedPristine
Cache: thisrepo:d:/builds/ghc-testing, cache:C:\Documents and Settings\simonmar\Application Data\darcs\cache
boringfile Pref: .darcs-boring
Default Remote: x:/ghc-HEAD
   Num Patches: 21106
$ time darcs w -s
No changes!

real    0m3.126s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.015s
$ darcs --version
2.3.0 (release)

Compared to Linux, where the time is ~0.25s. These are all local filesystems.

(I'd like to use hashed repos on Windows, mainly to avoid the case-insensitive-filesystem issue with non-hashed repos).

Cheers,
