Also fucking Windows. Oh you can't access the ports on your own computer unless you go through a slow driver written by someone who paid us for a certificate. Fuck off let me bang some bits

Yeah it turns out it is faster on Linux and can pretty much get up to the speed of the original (albeit not 100% reliably) so it must just be the Windows driver slowing it down. Which on the one hand is a bit of a pisser that it's a problem I can't fix, but it's also good to know I've done everything "right" on my end and it's not a problem with my code

I suppose I should also try compiling this on Linux and see if it's any faster there. The driver it needs on windows might be adding overhead. On Linux it can just raw dog the port
