windows console rendering is kinda horribly slow in general, example, when 
doing an import/export utility I had to update from 26k files, and it runs in 
about 1.5 minutes only putting a writeline for each directory.. if I do one 
for each file, takes about 8 minutes.. because of the screen updates, there's 
been a lot of discussion on this in the past.. console programming in windows 
just sucks if you need to do a lot of screen writes.
