Well, this article seems to be asking "why is the Windows file system so slow?" and generally complaining. A better name for the article might be "Windows FS performance sucks" or similarly polemical title.

There are parts of Windows that are implemented just the same as Linux, and parts that are faster. Some parts are slower, notably the file system. But there's more to Windows than just the file system.

So, I'd say that's why it's not constructive.



Well that's the question isn't it? Is it just the filesystem, or is the speed of CL.EXE an issue too? What about the VS build system?

It sounds like you simply don't know enough about the issue to judge whether it's constructive.
