Are you running an antimalware program with real-time scanning enabled on Windows? I've found that typically causes a lot of the slowdowns on builds if you don't have your worktree excluded from it. Linux still ends up faster for me even without the anti-malware on Windows but its not as dramatic.

There is the normal windows defender active, but unfortunately I don't have the permissions to turn it off or set exclusions.

Are you a developer who doesn't have admin rights on his machine? How does that happen?

[tkuraku]

It is possible to have admin access, but still be locked out of certain things via group policy.

There may be other anti-malware, file encryption, etc installed without your knowledge or visibility.
