You should start by adding more RAM, this would probably speed things
up. And most of the Linux propaganda involves how stable Linux is, not
that it's soo much faster than windows. Well, I guess it is faster
overall when you factor in a 2 minute restart of windows every hour.
I'd love to race someone who took a 2 minute break every mile!
