(By the author) Top Answer: Unless a hardcore windows systems hacker comes along, you're not going to get more than partisan comments (which I won't do) and speculation (which is what I'm going to try). 1.

Why should he run the ls command on ntfs rather then a native file system? In all it was a "windows vs linux" test and not a fileystem test. Testing the same filesystem wouldn't make sense here
If Linux is still much faster, even with the same filesystem, you have eliminated one variable.
There are a plethora of disk benchmarking tools - I doubt that they consistently show 40x differences.
Hooves -> horses, and all that.
I don't know this poster, but I am pretty familiar with the problem he's encountering, as I am the person most responsible for the Chrome build for Linux. I (and others) have put a lot of effort into making the Linux Chrome build fast. Some examples are multiple new implementations of the build system ( http://neugierig.org/software/chromium/notes/2011/02/ninja.h... ), experimentation with the gold linker (e.g. measu…
Wow, so if you want to test file system speeds, you do it by listing files - I know this just an example, but perhaps it has something to do with the speed of the terminal ? There are a plethora of disk benchmarking tools - I doubt that they consistently show 40x differences. Hooves -> horses, and all that.

Chrome on Linux is awesome. At some point in the past year I stopped having to use command line options to keep it in memory as it defaults to that. Brilliant and slick, I love it. Chrome's performance and syncing is the reason I was able to transition almost entirely over to Linux from Mac this year with very little workflow disruption.
