> Just take a look at the Win32 API. So many calls are slow AF and just reading a file off the disk in Windows requires 1000s of syscalls and confext switches- because of too much "safe" abstractions built over the years.

Windows, like any big system, has problems, but not this one. Its FS is slow, but not for this reason.
