I've had also bad results on windows... Windows XP 32bit (VirtualBox) - 178.200 (compilations per second)
compared to Ubuntu 32bit (VirtualBox) - 694.932 Debian 64bit (host) - 669.932 I had also had experience with Git handling small files on windows was incredibly slow... so maybe it has something to do with disk writes? What exactly is happening when a method is compiled? A write to changes browser, to the image, parsing, ...?
