My tests, ran several times also on a PII300, but under linux

stdout varied between 0.23 and 0.37
file varied betweeb 0.06 and 0.08 but 9 out of 10 are 0.06

Isn't the windows console always slow though, like even when doing a dir
on a large directory?  My guess is that since MS don't want to use te
hconsole they didn't really put much effort into making it efficient,
posibally it was a job given to a newbie MS staff member back in 93-94
and has not been touched since?
