Puppet users - Feb 2013 - Puppet 3.1 slow to compile in Windows (standalone mode)

I''m trying to learn Puppet (v.3.1) and I''ve noticed that in
Windows it
takes Puppet quite a bit of time to process a manifest compared to the 
experience I had with the "Learning VM".

I mean a simple manifest like this:

file {
''C:\testfile.txt'':
ensure => ''present'',
content => ''This is a text file'',
}

will take Puppet roughly 30 seconds from start to finish to process in 
Windows. It says it completed the catalog run in less than a second, so
I''m
assuming it''s the compilation that is slow. While on the Learning VM,
it
takes a mere few seconds from start to finish. Is this just a Windows 
thing? Or are there extra configuration/setup I must do in Windows (I''m
interested in standalone mode)?

I appreciate the help/advice.

Thanks.

I too and learning puppet for the first time.  I attempted my first 
manifest run launch puppet from command line but it cannot find my file. 

puppet apply C:\test.pp

I get Error: Could not run: Could not find file C:\test.pp

How did you run your script.  I''m interested in anything this group
might
have to offer and hopefully soon I can contribute.
