Hi,
I often work with huge patches, and I'm noticing that loading the same patch in Linux takes at least 10 times (this is not an exageration) the time it takes in Windows, though the linux box I'm testing on has better hardware.
I know this is a very generic question but does perhaps anybody know where the bottleneck may be and why such a big difference between the two platforms (despite the popular belief that everything is usually faster in linux)?
thanks m.
