Another point not mentioned in this article is that Windows desktops are incredibly slow these days.

I did some compilation tests on a 2025 Windows desktop with an i9 vs some MacBooks and a new top-of-the-line Windows machine can’t even keep up with a bottom-tier M1 MacBook Pro.

Did you turn off Microsoft Defender for the relevant directories? Otherwise you might be measuring malware scan performance more than compiler performance.

Some of that may be due to cpu architecture differences. What you have done is more or less an apples to oranges comparison.
