Hello Zach,
I must be fairly confident that switching to linux will solve some of our
paging problems before I recommend it to my boss.
I personally wouldn't pretend to have any real numbers on this, and if
you need to be "fairly confident", then I think the only way is to try
it out yourself.
It's pretty easy nowadays to install Ubuntu or Fedora as a dual-boot
on the actual machine you would switch to Linux, and try it side by
side. Of course, if you have a complicated environment, then maybe you
can only try a smaller test (i.e. single-machine, single-screen
instead of a full CAVE setup, but compare both OSes in a similar
setup). That way, you'll see firsthand what the differences in
bottlenecks can be. Of course, that's assuming your software was
written in a cross-platform manner to begin with.
Otherwise, you'd probably have to rely on anecdotal evidence, or on
numbers which may not apply to your actual situation.
Just a suggestion. Good luck,
J-S
