There is a huge IO problem with Ruby on how deal with Windows API IO stuff. I did ran some test between bare C doing IO with lot of files and folders and compare it with ruby. There are so many functions called just to reach the native API that make things slow. Don't have to much time now to invest on fixing this, sorry. -- Luis Lavena
