What OS are you running on the Dell though? Windows is notoriously slower for file system operations even without AV and the default there is to prefer foreground apps vs something like compile tasks.

Yep, see below. With WSL and an ext4 virtual disk it takes only 29 seconds. Still quite a bit more than the 22 seconds on the Macbook.

WSL2 right? Given the virtualization overhead for IO I would expect native Linux to be faster.

WSL2, correct.
