I haven't heard, but I guess that Windows JVMs take advantage of Windows native threads and the efficient use of CriticalSection (which is quite fast), while most Linux JVMs use multiple processes. Just do a 'ps aux' after you started some big app like Borland Enterpise Server... Linux is supposed to have much better threading in 2.6, and hopefully app's will start taking advantage of that.
