1. bind vs. interp on Windows 10

I've noticed a problem, and hope someone can confirm or not.
puts(1,"Hello World!\n")
This, of course, runs instantly. When bound, however, it takes more than 1 second before anything happens. Feels like nearly 2.
Running in compatibilty mode with Windows 7 or 8 makes no difference.
Is my Windows broken? Or does this happen to anyone else?
(Eu 4.1 beta 2)

Sounds like your av is giving it a once-over, try watching task manager while it happens - windows defender lists as "Antimalware Service Executable".

I put an extra line into the test:
puts(1,"Hello World!\n") while 1 do end while
So that eu remains running after completing the difficult task of saying hello.
When run via eui hello, the Antimalware isn't triggered, and the memory/cpu load graph remains at a plateau until I kill eu.
When bound and run as hello.exe, the Antimalware is triggered like a college student without a warm puppy. The graph peaks, then settles down to the same even level as before.
It makes sense that Windows sees hello.exe as a foreign (meaning "we didn't sell it") program, and has to check. I suppose the same thing would happen if I wrote hello.c, since Microsoft would be unacquainted with that program, also.
Now, short of using a big hammer, is there any way to turn off the Aunty Mule ware? This computer isn't connected to the web. So I'm not particularly worried about getting a virus.
Edit: there is plenty of complaints on the internet, I'll try some of the suggestions to turn it off. Thanks for pointing me to the cause.

Open Windows Defender (aka Windows Security), select Virus & threat protection (1st option) /settings (2nd option) /exclusions (5th option).
From there you can add file/folder/file type/process, not that I've tested any.
I suppose the proper way is to exclude build and test, but not release folders.

Yes, I tried excluding the file - didn't do any good. I'll try the other ways. Thanks!

Thanks. I ran into this problem while trying to find out why EuGTK seems to run more slowly on Windows than on Linux. After inserting some timing statements, I discovered that it isn't really *running* much slower, it's just *starting* slower, which gives the appearance of running more slowly.
The actual times, once Windows decides to let me run my own program, are very close:
| Windows | Linux |
|---|---|
| load Eu includes 0.156 | Load Eu includes 0.3 |
| build interface 0.031 | build interface 0.01 [1] |
| startup GTK 0.813 [2] | startup GTK 0.06 |
| load big file 0.031 | load big file 0.02 |
| total 1.031 sec | total 0.39 |
[1] I was surprised that, as complex as EuGTK is, Euphoria was able to process and link all those GTK calls, set up a registry, and create the various controls in such a short time. Pretty powerful!
[2] While it's obvious that Linux is faster here (since it's working with native shared libraries vs. the GTK shim), nobody would notice the extra six tenths of a sec or so that Windows needs - if that were all that's involved.
All the extra startup (close to 4 sec when bound) seems to be before Euphoria has even started.
