Hi, I'm the guy who wrote the post. I realize that it wasn't a very scientific or detailed investigation - it was a quick test to see if there was any difference between verbose and non-verbose commands. The purpose was also not to compare Windows vs. Linux, but just to see if there was any difference in the execution speed when changing the verbosity. I tested two platforms because I was curious, not to compare them. I may give it a closer look with more precise testing later; this was just a small practical test to go with a question highlighted as our "question of the week". If you have some more detailed thoughts on this, please feel free to comment on the blog, or write an answer on the original question: http://superuser.com/q/312877/20088 http://superuser.com/q/312877/20088
