For the sake of testing, I booted into my Vista Home Premium partition and
installed the latest Lilypond binary from the download page. I ran a
lilypond file once and it took about 90 seconds, then ran it a second time
and it took more than 60 seconds. The same file on Linux compiles in less
than 2 seconds. Honestly I don't know how anyone uses Vista as their main
OS. This is a reasonably powerful laptop less than 6 months old with 2GB of
RAM and a dual-core processor. I have all the aero eye candy disabled and
it still runs 10x slower than the 8-year-old Gateway box in my office
running Ubuntu 8.04. Man. Glad to be back on the Linux side :)

Any ideas for a better A to this Q?
