Any differences in completion between Win and Linux. One optimized better than the other? I know with Einstein Linux takes nearly 2x as long.

I believe it is just about the same, though I haven't done a direct test.

Well, can't tell you about differences in LHC, but Predictor WUs take *significantly* longer under Linux. (Mobile-Sempron 2800+, 512 MB RAM)

Linux (Ubuntu) : 1h - 1h10
WinXP : 35 - 40 minutes

Don't know where the difference comes from, my notebook runs at full speed under both OS. LHC WUs are hard to compare due to highly different (real) completion times. Although, I assume WU times are higher under Linux.

Alright I've run under Linux for awhile and it's 5% - 15% slower depending on work unit with the longer units toward the 15% side. End of speculation.
