Hi,

I recently changed jobs and now I have to use Windows. So first of
all, I'd like to congratulate the team that made WinGrass possible!
It's working great. I just have some questions.

Is there any speed difference between the Linux / Windows version?
WinGrass feels slower for me but I can't tell if it's the software or
if it's the crappy old computer I'm stuck with :slight_smile:

Cheers and once again, great job on WinGrass

(I suppose you mean the native winGRASS version, not Cygwin-winGRASS)

Yes, a few things don't work (yet) in winGRASS native.
See the relatively up to date list here:

I don't think that it should be significantly slower. If there is the "time"
command, you could do some comparative calculations and report
back here.
