Just out of interest. Would OSX typically run the same speed as Linux on the same machine?

Speaking as a user and not a foundry employee, this is an across the board feature of windows. From the late 90's back when Microsoft bought Softimage and all the dcc apps were ported to windows to now there was always a 10-15% slowdown on windows. My Maya/houdini/shake/etc... scenes ran considerably faster with more geo and a smaller memory footprint.

*Foundry employee back on :). Even our recent Modo port to Linux runs faster and more memory efficient over Windows.

    We're doing some pipeline testing ( which is still not complete )
    and yesterday we rendered the same comp

    identical machines . All files were local as were the renders.

    The only difference was OS - Windows 7 ( pro' service pack 1 )
    versus Linux ( Gnome 2.28.2 ).

    The Windows box has been  16% slower  over a number of reboots
    and re-renders.

    This seems pretty high to me.

    Does anybody have some tips for speeding up Windows machines ?

    Thanks
