-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Based on the fact that you addressed this mail to bug-fileutils (an outdated list address), you probably want to consider upgrading the version of coreutils on your machine to the latest stable version, 5.94.

This has nothing to do with coreutils; perhaps you meant to ask the diffutils list? Which Windows compilation are you using, cygwin, mingw, or something else - perhaps asking on their mailing list might be more enlightening? At any rate, without profiling the program, I cannot give an accurate answer, but I can say that many GNU programs when compiled for Windows suffer from slowdowns imposed by the extra layers of porting required to get the program to compile on a non-POSIX platform. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
