Oh right, I thought you were expecting poorer performance on Windows.

As one of the gurus pointed out earlier in this thread (too lazy to look
it up) the OS itself has very little effect on IDL performance. The
important variables are compiler (Windows IDL has a slight advantage
here) and the graphics subsystem (the comparison is mixed).

Why's that? Memory fragmentation (which I'll accept)? Or inability to
run IDL at low priority (which I won't )?
