Have a large ZIP file. Preferably like a few gigs and lots of (small) files.
Try to open it with the built-in Windows 11 tooling from Microsoft. It's going to be super slow to even show anything never mind unpack it.
Now install say 7-zip and do the exact same thing(s) and it's going to be instant opening and unpacking it takes a much much smaller amount of time (only limited by disk speed).
Turns out optimizations / not doing stupid things is still a thing even with all this raw power we now have.
