Most binaries in Windows are signed. This requires the loader to load each PE section, hash, do some number crunching, and compare the result -- which results in the entire file being loaded into memory before execution. This involves (potentially random?) disk I/O, which can be surprisingly slow on certain platforms (e.g. Xbox One, HoloLens, anything IoT, anything with eMMC). |
