Why is Windows so slow?
What is this archive step you mention in passing, and what makes Linux slow at it?

I don't know why Linux is so slow at it, it's when we build the tgz containing all the binaries before uploading it to the distribution server.

Possibly Linux isn't using the same compression settings?

I think it's more a caching thing, it's as if Windows isn't rereading the files from disk.
