Not really, I think. Startup of a "hello world" seems to be 5ms faster on my Windows machine: https://gist.github.com/MarkTiedemann/c2f4013c3a60bb28df5005...


What's up with the page faults in the timing details?


Not much. Similar to the context switches column, a couple of thousand page faults are quite normal for a quickly executed Windows program. For comparison, listing all running processes, you'll hit ~1-10k page faults (see timeit benchmark results at the top of the readme: https://github.com/MarkTiedemann/fastlist).
