Git is actively rewriting many of their shell and Perl code in C. Performance and portability are given as reasons (having shell and Perl as a dependency on Windows is a bit of a kludge). And shell scripts are much slower on Windows because new process overhead on Windows is ~10x what it is on POSIX platforms. (New threads, however, are faster to create on Windows than on POSIX.) |
