A lot of times it's the memory 'management' on Windows that kills the db performance. It is nothing like that on Unix and Linux platforms; Oracle takes a huge contiguous chunk of RAM and manages the various pools and such from that. It isn't pretty. Also it runs under a service, which may or may not be functioning properly.

I don't mind it for a personal db on my laptop but running a production database on Windows is sometning I really haven't cared for over the years. I still have clients that run Oracle on Windows because they don't have any *nix experience in the adminstration area.
