But how does it come that there can be such a difference doing nearly
the same things on Linux and Windows? I can't believe that Windows is
*such* a bad design. They all cook with water I think.
It would be interesting to see a comparison on the same filesystem.
E.g. fat32 or ext2 (using ext2ifs). NTFS is a bad example because it
is implemented on Linux using a user file system driver (fuse), which
might influence the performance test.
@Martin: How does the IDE ask for the last modification time (on Linux
and on Windows)? I can then crawl through the source code (for Windows
using ReactOS) to see what both OSes are basically doing.
I don't remember, I can't even find the bug at the moment.
It was somewhere in codetools. It was invoked when you tried to do
implementation-jump. I vaguely remember Codetool was not caching this
info, so potentially asking several times for the same file.. A cache
was added, and things go better.
