I can confirm this results (they were even more significant when I
tested it, like 10x gap easily).
And this has nothing to do with windows or anything underlying, it's
just not efficient software design.

The reason for such conslution is that when you copy repo data locally,
its almost equially fast on windows w/ linux.
