Also, while raw performance of a Java application may be higher on Linux, it is many peoples experience that the opposite is the case with perceived performance of anything with a UI. In short, on the same machine, NetBeans FEELS faster when running on Windows than running on Linux. I've heard this is due to the relatively old X server design, don't really know, but it often comes up on nbusers mailing list with people who just switched to Linux. And to be honest, I would prefer perceived performance over synthetic-micro-benchmark-of- the-day performance.
