I have an old single processor XP box (limited to 1 GB memory by the motherboard) and a newer dual-core laptop. These run Xp and Vista respectively. Not in the same league as yours :-( My searching on the net suggests that the Windows version of Git is not as fast as the Linux original. The net result is that Git on Windows needs a higher spec processor than flightgear does when used with a large and frequently changing set of data such as fgdata. During "pull origin" Git´s CPU usage goes to 100% (or 50% on the dual core box) and Gits´s memory increases to over 100M, but there is negligible net usage. I have let it run for 3 hours with no sign of any completion. My guess is that Windows Git is having trouble sorting out all the changes and updating its internal databases.
