Again, it's not clear if you're talking about Windows or Cygwin but
under Cygwin, in the default configuration, the exec attribute means the
same thing to cygwin as it does to linux.
I don't know about native Windows speed, but comparing NutCracker with
Cygwin on a simple 'find . | wc -l' already gives a clue that looking
at Cygwin to benchmark NT file inspection IO will give a skewed
picture:
Well, naturally. Cygwin is a userland implementation of a sane
filesystem on top of a less sane one. File IO is bound to be slower when
one FS is emulated on top of another. I think cygwin users are aware of
this and simply accept the speed-for-sanity tradeoff. I know I would.
