Yes, Windows builds are most definitely slower. Emulating a Unix like 
environment on top of Windows is inherently slow. The Unix model of 
forking lots of processes, which makefiles typically do, is very fast in 
Linux, but expensive in Windows. Another factor is the filesystem, which 
on Linux has a very fast caching mechanism that makes many small file 
operations very fast. This is a lot slower on Windows. On my 
workstations with equal hardware, the Windows build is about 2.5x slower 
than the Linux build.
