Well, on Windows (at least with Cygwin), it is 80's still. My workstation
(a 2.4GHz P4, 70C hot, 2Gb Dell monster) is about 100x slower than my
old Asus laptop (a 384Mb, 1200Ghz Pentium-M) in starting a trivial program
("int main() { return 0; }").

I'm trying to save where possible on cygwin, whatever cost.
