First of all the usual disclaimers, there are a ton of variables that go
into a test like this, other demands on CPU, cache, memory, video, loading dlls, dlms, etc.

Having said that, I have seen a win2000 machine run faster
than a linux machine with the same code.

There has been some discussion of this before,
google the group for the thread titled
" Re: AMD CPU - (pentium way faster) "
and
"Re: Sorry Re: which OS is faster for idl? "

Cheers,
bob
