Linux use to have a very similar problem but it was finally fixed in kernel 4.10. Surprised windows suffers from the same thing and now it's got me wondering if MacOS does this too...
- maxxxxx 9y agoMacOS is much faster than windows for similar operations
- lordlimecat 9y agoSuch a broad and unqualified statement is not plausible and reeks of fanboyism.
- maxxxxx 9y agoMaybe I wasn't clear enough and should have qualified. What I meant was similar operations like the ones this thread is about: - Putting stuff into trash - Emptying trash - Deleting large number of files with command line From my experience MacOS is much faster for any of these. Add copying files to external hard disk or SD card to that list. My statement was not meant to be about the overall performance of MacOS vs Windows.
- tracker1 9y agoI find that the filesystem of choice has some strong influences on that. I usually install `rimraf` via npm, which does about the same as `rm -rf` but works everywhere node does.
- dawnerd 9y agoMac is horribly slow when using the gui. Last time I had to I realized it was faster to copy the stuff I wanted off a disk and just format it rather than wait for files to delete.
- GrayShade 9y agoDo you have a link about the 4.10 change you mentioned?
