Benchmark if Windows installer or Windows archive is faster to install #64

Closed SaschaMann closed 10 months ago

SaschaMann commented 3 years ago

Recent versions of Julia are also shipped as a portable .zip file for Windows. That may or may not be faster than running the installer.

Zip is slightly faster but still slow https://github.com/julia-actions/setup-julia/pull/171

Supposedly the windows installers might be more compressed than other platforms, so might be unavoidably slower

.tar.gz wins! https://github.com/julia-actions/setup-julia/pull/171 They were added for use by juliaup, so we should be able to rely on their existence.
