I noticed this also, when testing a reasonably powerful Windows
desktop machine that I had intended to use as my new development +
continual build machine.
I then measured the time taken to extract the source on my seven year
old MacBookPro; it takes seven seconds to extract the file on that
machine.
The conclusion I made was that some OS's just aren't that good a fit
if you're going to be extracting files on a regular basis. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
