If you're using node, try https://knexjs.org/ . The API is very similar.

FWIW these are mocha suites running under nodeJS, so if v8 had a really bad windows subsystem, that'd explain it, but as others have stated, the performance difference correlates with other cross platform runtime environments as well.

Native. I uninstalled WSL and am not running any VMs on my CI box, just to make sure Windows isn't busy doing anything else.

> Just saying i5 or i7 is kind of meaningless Yeah, agreed, but these are single-core tests and even the max clock speed of intel chips doesn't seem to correlate exactly with performance. Here's more CPU details, though: My XPS

If you find cmder not to your liking, realize it's just a repackaging of https://conemu.github.io/ and Clink with a nice looking stylesheet. You might like vanilla ConEmu better (I did).

It's Windows, but Lenovo bloatware doesn't help. I've never really used Windows as a daily driver until I had to do cross-platform development for PhotoStructure[1]. My windows box is a recent XPS 15 with an m.2 SSD and core

There are some knobs you can dial in PhotoStructure to reduce disk space consumption, at the cost of browsing speed. I just added instructions for you to that post: https://support.photostructure.com/how-much-disk-space-do-i

Yes, you can absolutely use PhotoStructure for your use case. After you install, the second question you should pick "No thanks, I like my photos and videos where they already are." See https://support.photostructure.co

The "photo app" market is a zombie apocalyptic wasteland of failed and undead software. I don't want to get burned again, either, so: 1) There's a corporate mandate to open-source PhotoStructure for Desktop in the event

Yeah, I hear you. Having written many open source libraries (my rubygems have been downloaded several million times, my node packages are close to that, and I've contributed to other libraries for over a decade), I personally will choo

I had this same issue. PhotoStructure can read iPhoto libraries (and LR XMPs), and will coalesce both "sidecar" dupes (like JPG/RAW pairs), as well as images that were downsampled from other photo services (like Google Photos

I started writing PhotoStructure because I got tired of being burned by failed open and closed source media apps. I wrote more details about it in a top level post, but this blog post describes why I quit my job to do this full time, where
