Network accesses using Linux have always been much faster than using
Windows, in my experience. I don't know what's wrong with Windows in
this respect, but it seems to be a deep deep problem. I doubt that
after all this time it's the IP stack that is not slick, and in the
first place, it's ripped from the BSD one anyway, so I imagine it's more
to do with the way process/thread management is done in Windows.
