Recent benchmarks (last month or so) show that Oracle on Linux is many times faster than Oracle on NT. This has been my real world experience as well. (I manage two NT Oracle Servers, One Linux and One Solaris)

In general, be wary of benchmarks, especially those which are paid for by a vendor of what is being benchmarked. Received on Fri Jul 02 1999 - 08:10:26 CDT
