How much text/console output is involved in this testcase?  I find that
when run from a Windows Console, any significant amount of stdout is
much slower than when using rxvt/xterm.  I think it's partly because the
Windows Console is just a lot slower, but also because I have Lucida
Console, a Truetype font, configured for the Windows Console (as well as
Cleartype subpixel rendering enabled) which is very slow to render
compared to a fixed size bitmap font that I have configured for
rxvt/xterm.
