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?
