Description
Currently utils/autoreload.py has implementation for inotify based file system watcher. On Windows it scans all files for changes every 1 second which takes a lot of CPU. Windows provides file system watching API (FindFirstChangeNotification) which does the same thing as inotify on Linux. Django should take advantage of the API to make autoreloader more efficient.
