Wow that really makes a massive difference !!

I am not asking for the details, as I'm unlikely to understand, but... how
come the GnuWin32 port hasn't been updated or fixed ?

Not only is your port much faster, it also doesn't completely fall apart
when encountering symbolic links on a unix network drive (which of course
can't be resolved)

You've made my day !
Cheers !
