The Windows portable build needs to unpack itself every time it launches. This is painfully slow. electron-builder offers a zip build target. It might be a better idea than portable.
Note that electron-builder does not allow setting the artifact name explicitly for the zip target. Workaround is to set the artifact name for all Windows builds, and use the extension name to tell them apart.
