Thanks for your feedback. In fact at last year's WMS Benchmarking
exercise with several software teams, we found that MapServer on Windows
did very well vs Linux, and other mapping engines for that matter (don't
just take my word for it, see the numbers at
http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/foss4g/benchmarking/wms/2011/presentation/).
Looking at the charts in the 2011 Benchmark presentations, it seems that
MapServer on Linux was more or less 3 times faster than the Windows version in
each chart. So my interpretation is that MapServer on Windows is doing as well
as the rest of the pack, but in those tests, MapServer and Mapnik on Linux were
still doing much better. Am I missing something?
That corresponds with the benchmark figures I posted for Apache/PHP running on
W7 and SUSE linux on the same test machine. XP running on the same hardware was
a lot faster than W7 running the identical tests, but still half the speed of
Linux. I was somewhat surprised just how slow W7 was but the consensus was that
the figures were accurate, and there was little that could be done to improve
things :( It was early this year, but I don't think anything has changed since.
