On Windows, if there are multiple source files on the command line
they are now read with a background thread. This may speed up

I have tried on Windows, on a 2-core CPU and the CPU usage is about
50% still (only one core used). I have not timed much difference in
compilation times (it's 24 modules).
It's hard to see an overall difference. To see one, I had to compile off
of an SD card connected via USB.
You'll also not see it in CPU usage, because the I/O thread will be
paused waiting for the disk.
