FS#56 - Extremely slow to load.

Windows is extremely slow to load compared to other platforms.

$time ./src/osirion +connect +quit

Linux: 3.3 seconds
Windows: 23.7 seconds

This may be related to the binaries being produced via mingw:

The best solution is to probably use a Visual C++ toolchain for windows binaries.

I've found that no amount of gcc options will cause an increase in performance worth mentioning. Using the following crazy concoction of cflags, I've found that in total it took about 1 second off the load time in windows (average weighing of 5 attempts)

flags .............. -pipe -O3 -ffast-math -mfpmath=sse -mpc80 -mhard-float -s -march=core2 -mtune=core2 -minline-all-stringops -fstrict-overflow -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -fno-non-call-exceptions -fno-unwind-tables -fmerge-all-constants -fira-loop-pressure -fno-exceptions -fstrict-aliasing -fno-ident -fomit-frame-pointer -mms-bitfields

No, the answer is not MSVC, MSVC builds are only slightly faster.

When using iterators in C++, there's a distinct performance difference between it++ and ++it.
I optimized all iterator loops in the map loader by replacing it++ with ++it where possible.
There's a noticable performance gain on windows.

Is this still an issue in 2020?
