I'm not sure, do we really expect buffer-size to be the same as the

Of course not and I actually got files for which the two are very
different.
This change is quite likely to break things if that
assumption is not correct.
Could cause 100% CPU usage and continuous overshouting of other
minibuffer messages with revert messages, making Emacs completely
unusable.
On top of that, if Emacs has trouble checking when a file has changed
on disk on MS Windows, then how is this a problem that is specific to
Auto Revert Mode? What about any other part of Emacs that needs to
know this?
Sincerely,
