[PD] loading patches very slow in linux

[Matteo Sisti Sette]

Hi,

I often work with huge patches, and I'm noticing that loading the same 
patch in Linux takes at least 10 times (this is not an exageration) the 
time it takes in Windows, though the linux box I'm testing on has better 
hardware.

I know this is a very generic question but does perhaps anybody know 
where the bottleneck may be and why such a big difference between the 
two platforms (despite the popular belief that everything is usually 
faster in linux)?

thanks
m.
