I am also struggling with long linking times. In my case, I am quite sure, it is caused by Virus scanner and another supervision tool on my windows box

I’ve just opened an an issue over on ocaml.org repository that tries to summarises the arguments made here and offer a solution for how we can go about updating ocaml.org (see [RFC] Update the state of windows on OCaml · Issue #1598 · ocaml/ocaml.org · GitHub).
If the general proposal at the end seems okay, I can try piecing together the information into something coherent. Better yet, if someone with a little more Windows knowledge than me could do that I’d be happy to review and help get it merged (I’m not myself a Windows user, I would just like to help get something concrete in ocaml.org thanks to the useful discussion further up in this thread).
