For the most part the two are pretty equivalent in performance, it's particularly constant blocking on small file IO where Windows falls way behind. Also a bit in the "tons of cores" and "tons of networking" categories but not as nearly as bad as small file IO.


Well yeah, if you avoid the OS (syscalls) as much as possible then all operating systems will have about the same performance.
