It's certainly slower than on Linux, but horrendous is a little bit of an overstatement. For many real-world test suites, process creation is a small part of overall time, and nextest still ends up being overall faster due to better handling of long-pole tests. The issues around thread termination and stuff are quite relevant on Windows. (And maybe posts like mine are going to get Microsoft and AV vendors to pay more attention to process creation performance! It really doesn't have to be slow, it just is in practice.) Measured by weekly downloads (around 120k a week total last I checked), Windows is actually the number two platform nextest is used on, ahead of macOS. It's mostly CI, but clearly a lot of people are getting value out of nextest on Windows.
