 =item Win32
 
+The time taken to build perl on Windows has been reduced quite significantly
+(time savings in the region of 30-40% are typically seen) by reducing the
+number of, usually failing, I/O calls for each L<perlfunc/require> (for
+miniperl only).

 About 15 minutes of idle sleeping was removed from running C<make test> due to
 a bug in which the timeout monitor used for tests could not be cancelled once
 the test completes, and the full timeout period elapsed before running the next
 test file.

-XXX: Reword this and fix spelling mistakes:
-On a Perl built without psuedo-fork (psuedo-fork builds were not affected by
-this bug), probably since prcess tree kill feature was implemented on Win32,
-killing a process tree with L<perlfunc/kill> and a negative signal, resulted
-in kill inverting the returned value.  This ment successfully killing
-1 process tree PID returned 0, and also passing 2 invalid PID, returned 2.
-This has been corrected so the documented behavior for return values for kill
-executes.
