It's a mismatch between the Windows and UNIX process models, and the fact that compilation via make(1) is optimized for the latter. I suspect that compiling the same quantity of code on Windows would be plenty fast with a native Windows build system that made efficient use of threads and CreateProcess() rather than going through a simulation of fork(). - Mark J.
