After locating the proper directory, I found out it had 11124 files totalling more than 47Mbytes! It seems this relatively small number is nevertheless too much for Windows. After cleaning it up I'm getting 0.008 seconds (to create a temp file). 10 times longer than on Linux, but still reasonable. Thanks all very much, --MAA
