Meaning, it's only really slow on macOS.

  Spawning processes on macOS is annoyingly slow :( I think the Linux kernel developers have put a lot more time into making sure forks complete much more quickly.

  Multiple versions of macOS. And Windows. And possibly other less known systems. Besides, why would a discerning engineer put up with magit creating all these wasteful processes knowing that most of them are redundant, regardless of performance feel? If I was a magit developer, I would surely try to fix this.

    On Windows it's not as fast as Linux, but it's not terrible either (as far as I heard).
