Is it just me or between this and the Dev Drive feature, does Windows have a lot of tools that only make sense because its actual filesystems are insanely slow?

Is it just me or between this and the Dev Drive feature, does Windows have a lot of tools that only make sense because its actual filesystems are insanely slow?
- nullindividual 3y agoIt’s not the file system, it’s the file system filters which is what DevDrive attempts to address.
- pxc 3y agoYes, here I mean something like 'actual performance of filesystem operations' by 'filesystem performance'. That the poor performance of the Windows filesystem stack has more to do with driver filters than core the code that belongs to the actual NTFS implementation or whatever matters little to me (or anyone, outside of Microsoft).
- nullindividual 3y agoThis impacts all file systems on Windows, not just NTFS. This is what DevDisk on Windows 11 is attempting to solve for, by disabling iFilters (or reducing their impact, such as async antivirus scans of open files).
