I think cygwin may add some overhead, but people should really realize

That's especially true for filesystem operations. We really are
just that
good.
Really simple things like stat/open/read/write/close are just damn
fast on
Linux. To the point where you really do notice it when you compare to
other systems. If something takes hours on Linux, and it's very
filesystem-intensive, I'm not at all surprised that it might take
days on
Windows.
(OS X is probably better than Windows when it comes to filesystem
ops, but
their memory management absolutely sucks, and I can pretty much
guarantee
that their filesystem operation latency doesn't hold a candle to
Linux,
so while I'd expect git to perform "pretty well" on OS X, it's still
going to be slower than on Linux)
Would be very interesting to see some "scientific" benchmarks of Git
performance on the different platforms.
Anyone got an Intel Mac with Windows and Linux installed on it as well?
Cheers,
Wincent
