If you are hypothesizing that you get better performance with Win9x, my
(unscientific) experience indicates otherwise. On the same machine, I get
about 5% better performance with Linux. I would *guess* the difference is
caused by the increased overhead of Win9x's GUI and shoddy multitasking.
Performance under Linux drops a bit when running X, but still beats Win9x
significantly. YMMV.
