thank you for the links. I searched some hours before asking here and
came across both documents. But as you said, information is all vague
unfortunately. My hope is to find somebody here with practical
experience comparing the operating platforms.

I write MySQL clients on this here WinXP laptop, usually connecting to
our own Linux server for development, and also to client machines and
hosted databases, through our shonky 2Mb slowband pipe here, and even
with the crap connection the Linux hosts are noticeably faster than my
127.0.0.1 connection to the local MySQL on the laptop.

Ive got the same code running om two different Linux machiones. The

faster CPU at the end of a long line is markedly better than the one at
my knee .

It also has a SATA rather than IDE drive.

I suspect your answer is in the disk subsystem really. Linux is really
quite good in that area.

Most likely the ODBC connection on the microsoft install that makes for the
loss of "operations".
