Just deleting 40,000 files from the node_modules of a modest Javascript project can thoroughly hammer NTFS.

I think part of that is Explorer, rather than NTFS. Try doing it from the console instead. rd /q /s <dir>.

It still takes a lot longer than Linux or Mac OS X.

NTFS is definitely slower to modify file system structures than ext4.
