I've noticed a similar difference between Linux and Windows uninstall
times. My Windows machine is a few years old; 3GHz Pentium with 2Gb RAM
and the Linux box is a much older machine; 733MHz with maybe 768Mb RAM.
The uninstall on the much slower Linux hardware is a few seconds,
while on the much faster Windows hardware the uninstall takes much
longer...but not anything like 32 minutes to reach 80%. Uninstall on my
Windows (XP) takes maybe a few minutes.
I remember once starting an uninstall on Windows and while that was
going on I went to my Linux box, uninstalled LilyPond, downloaded a
newer LP and installed it before the Windows had completed the uninstall.

When I install a new version I uninstall the previous one. I have
noticed, for quite a few versions now, that the uninstall takes a long
time. I just downloaded 2.13.7 and am waiting for the uninstall of
2.13.4 to complete. It has been running for about 32 minutes so far and
the uninstall progress bar is at about 80%.
This machine is dual boot. If I boot into Ubuntu and run the uninstall
of the same version, it takes only a few seconds to complete. I've tried
on two different Windows machines, one running Windows 7 and one running
XP, and the extremely slow uninstall happens on both. Installation on
both runs quite satisfactorily.
