A buggy utility that is the Windows port of the GNU time command.

If you run the benchmarks two times, the second time if you have enough free RAM and your system isn't performing I/O on disk for other purposes, then Windows keep essentially the whole file in a cache in RAM. On Linux too there is a disk cache. The HD too has a cache, so the situation is not simple and probably they are not fully under control of Windows.
