We set up a side by side comparison to test our Oracle DB application on
Windows 2003 32 Bit vs. Red Hat Linux.   We set up two virtual
partitions and alternately stopped one and tested the other. We have
been reading different benchmark tests and came to believe that we would
see a 30% to 40% performance advantage using linux.   We used Load
Runner and tested three program functions with 30-60-90 users.   Windows
performed about 10% better.   Does anybody have any advice or
observations on this?   Any configuration advice?
