The user experiences significantly slower file operations on Windows (NTFS) compared to Mac (HFS) or Linux (ext3/ext4) when dealing with thousands of small files, due to a small delay between individual file operations that accumulates over many files.
Windows file systems (NTFS) introduce a small but significant delay between individual file operations, which makes tasks involving thousands of small files much slower than on other operating systems. This isn't a throughput issue but an inefficiency in handling many discrete operations.
