Without wanting to get into a silly tit for tat match here I would point
out two things :-
1) You said "I suspect (for no particular reason other than disdain for
Windows) that it is related to poor file system (NTFS) access speeds"
... If that is not bringing OS comparisons into it then I apologise. It
seem fairly clear to me that that is exactly what you did.
2) When you asked "what did I contribute", I asked you to be more
specific about "slow loading times" e.g only first time or each and
every time and also mentioned that flyspell can often create large
pauses in buffer creation. Apologies if you feel that request for more
info and suggestion about one potential were not contributing.

Best of luck with your issues....
