You're basically just benchmarking the WIN32 filesystem versus a Linux VM in that case. The Windows file system is famously slow. It'd make more sense to compare a Cosmo binary running on WIN32 with a WIN32 native program. For example, Emacs has a WIN32 port where they wrote all the Windows polyfills on their own, and because they aren't experts on Windows, the official GNU Emacs Windows releases go a lot slower on Windows than if you just compile Emacs from source on Linux using Cosmo and scp the the binary over to run on Windows.
