Extremely slow on Windows #224

So, I've got a script

console.log(process.cwd())
gaze([path.join(__dirname, '..')+'/src/utils/**.js'], function(err, watcher) {
  console.log('watching')
  this.on('ready',function(){console.log('ready')})
  this.on('all', function (event, filepath) {
    console.log('2')
    var testFile = path.basename(filepath);
    console.log(filepath);
  });
});

and there are a total of 6 files in this directory. I get the 'watching' on the console, but I've been waiting for like ten minutes, and it hasn't said 'ready' yet. I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing or not. I've used this before on linux, and it worked fine, but now that I'm on a windows machine, it's not working.

So, just an update....left this script running all night, and it still hasn't finished globbing those six files!

Ok, it's working now...don't know what happened
