Re: Help! NT faster than Unix?

You seem to be forgetting one thing: Configuration. Of Everything.

The hardware *and* software environment *in every single detail* will have an effect on the 'performance' you record. You can't just make statements like 'a' is 'quicker' than 'b' without doing a very detailed appraisal of exactly what you are comparing, and why. That seems to be missing from your post...

Maybe you could come back with a *lot* more detail..?

BTW, I've only ever set-up the *same system* with the *same release* of Oracle on one box - a Compaq Pentium, SCSI2 based server. I ran SCO UNIX, NT Server and Netware on the system. Overall, SCO UNIX came out quickest, although this was quite some time ago, and was not by a margin significant enough to reject NT purely on those grounds alone.
