V4RB Performance on Windows

>>> Has a lot of disk activity during this time.
>>> Just opening the DB is closer to Mac performance.
>>> File size after creating is around 150K.

No. I've noticed creating and opening a database on Windows is MUCH MUCH
slower across the board. I've narrowed it down to the create command itself
in V4RB.
