To put this in perspective as pertains to win, large files also delete in seconds on FreeBSD, but! it had taken me 1 hr last night to delete the ports tree of a win box, and, i don't even want to talk about defragging the drive with the ports tree. If need be, I was "trying" to cvs the src and ports to update my system using WinCVS ( can someone port this please!!! :), due too lack of access on my friends box ( DST comes back on Wed.'s! ) and no hw modem, but win kept crapping out with all the small files. Man, some people will try anything to keep there box up to date to play with. Next time I will just get someone to beat me with a stick, same effect, but less time to bare the punishment of such a silly idea.
