Is there a reason that unter Linux the "Measured integer speed" and the "Measured floating point speed" is lower than under windows? I don't understand why an identical machine is under windows faster could you explain that please?

Benchmarks are performed by the boinc client. There may also be differences in the way the applications are compiled, and there may be differences from version to version.
There has always been differences in performance between the various hardware and software platforms ever since Boinc started.

I'm not the LHC Alex. Just a number cruncher like everyone else here.

Do you have frequency scaling enabled in linux?

I\'m running Ubuntu 8.04, and it seems that it doesn\'t bother to crank up the clock speed just for the benefit of nice loads.
