Some things are amazingly slow, though; look at how long it takes to install software, for instance. That's rarely CPU-bound at all, but somehow is influenced by I/O mismanagement in the various installers.
- tatersolid 4y agoInstalling software is usually CPU bound on Windows as decompression, anti-malware scanning, and signature validation of every file write limits throughput. Filesystem metadata management is also a bottleneck. Other platforms may not have the anti-malware scan but do similar things.
