I didn't do any rigorous benchmarks on I/O throughput, however Linux seems to 
be a bit faster due to better I/O scheduling and smarter caching. Also, Linux 
usually doesn't block the rest of the system while doing I/O as Windows likes 
to do when under heavy load. 

However, as I said at the start - these are my impressions not benchmarks. If 
you want to be sure, set up either a dual boot or one of the live distros 
which boot from the CD, put your data and application on the harddrive and 
benchmark it. That is the only way how to be sure.
