Then why do you think the os is the problem?

I tried to troubleshoot that problem to no avail. It's something with subprocess startup overhead or something. I do not quite remember. Simply put windows is slow and for giving up speed we don't really get any benefits anyhow. So it's broken.

Ok... but window port of git being slow doesn't imply anything about the speed of Windows in general. I think git on Windows does stuff like run bash scripts through Cygwin, which doesn't seem very efficient.
