Disagree.

I will not call running perl, designed at core on Unix for Unix, a
valid testbed for Windows vs Linux performance. :-)

Also keep in mind that a test like that has very little real-world
meaning. But hey, I'm not going to defend Windows. I prefer Linux. But
I stand by what I said. Performance is not a function of the operating
system. The impact that the actual o/s has on performance is negligble
when looking at issues such as configuration, software design,
implementation and so on.

Anyone that thinks that deploying Oracle on Linux will result in a
faster system than deploying Oracle on Windows on the same h/w
platform, is sorely mistaken.
