The rubric I was given back in the day is that transactions benefit 
writes but not reads. Thanks for confirming.

I've been trying to sort through several reports about write speeds on 
Windows, but most examples I've seen conflate several different tasks. 
For example, the latest I came across had a mix of JSON translation and 
array manipulation in addition to writes, so diligent analysis would 
require pulling that example stack apart into three different tests to 
pinpoint the actual bottleneck.

It may be that there's something about the APIs LC uses on Win which are 
less than optimal, or perhaps something inherent in NTFS.

But I so often see speedy writes on Win in LC that I haven't yet pinned 
down a recipe that exposes a write issue specific to LC on Windows.

Does anyone have a clue to the question that comes up in various forms 
here lately: what factors could make writes from LC slower on Windows 
than on Mac or Linux?
