Hi Zach, One test you could also do is something that Don enjoyed doing during Training sessions.
First up he'd get people to install the anywhere.flt database that is publically available, then run: osgviewer anywhere.flt First under Windows, then under Linux. The later would load 10x faster. This was with the old OpenFlight loader, and new one is more efficient at loading so I'd guess the delta will have come down. Clearly the OpenFlight loader was using file IO calls in a way that particularly exposed weakness in MS's IO library and the OS. I don't think the likes of the IVE plugin are quite so bad but it might still be an interesting test to do - pick a big model and just load it and see how long it takes.
