Re: Linux vs. Windows performance.

Hi Michael,

I took 2 identical hardware configurations, 2 identical 9.2 DB's with equally-sized SGAs on W2K and Red hat Linux 8 respectively. The 2 O/S' had approximately the same dedicated ressources.

Then I created one million unique INSERT (which is quite CPU-intensive) statements (with a Perl script) and ran them agains each instance. Result : Linux was 150% faster than W2k.
