slow perf on Windows, and throws on basic stuff

@balupton Is it possible to watch a single file? I am on windows and keep getting different errors if I try to watch one file. And also ENOENT errors for Windows even if folders exist.

And I noticed the code seems to be slow. It takes around 420ms on my computer - Windows with 32 GB ram - to console log an invoked event when I'm changing file content.

And its seems like this module are eating CPU to breakfest . Now I have 87% load watching a folder with 1 single file.

And could you tell me how to deal with symlinks, and dot files? Are there any options for this?

Seems its is following symlnks, and you have symlinks pointing outside, as such Watchr is following it.

I'd suggest using watchman #91 otherwise provide some funding and I'll look into it.

Could also just be a windows support issue of watchr #341
