Thread: Windows vs Linux execution speed.

The Linux or the Windows is running on same machine, as dual boot. So the hw is the same. Copying files works fine, I mean, with a 100Mbps NIC I have around 7MBytes/s. I think it's fine. I cant test it locally, because the other two applications (client and server) are running only on Windows. I tried to test them all on same machine with Windows plus a Virtual Machine with Linux for the node. The speed seems to be fine. This is something...

Wide open field there. It could be anything from hardware, to cables, to configurations, to having 'Auto-negotiate' turned off somewhere to the protocol stack, to memory, to ... well, you get the picture? Start first by running some simple raw speed tests on both boxes, see how they behave. Note: Run the tests locally in controlled circumstances, not a test site on the net. Even just copying a large file from both boxes to a...
