Windows Programs Sometimes Run Faster On Linux Than XP

,----[ Quote ]
| A popular myth among old linux users is that they need to dual-boot because 
| their fav windows program does not work in Linux. I tell them, there's wine 
| and cadega and they tell me the performance of these are slower than 
| Windows... and this post is to break this myth!!

Quake 4 On XP, Vista, & Linux

| However, I spent the extra time and while I was at it had run three
| Quake 4 v1.3 benchmarks in XP, Vista, and Fedora Core 6 (2.6.20 kernel).
| The hardware used was a modest AMD Sempron setup with a NVIDIA GeForce
| 6150 and the NVIDIA 1.0-9755 drivers (the hardware chosen was to
| represent the more common Linux user rather than using an octal-core
| setup). The NVIDIA driver on Vista was 100.65 while the XP version
| was 93.71. Below is the average frame-rate from each test on each
| operating system.
