I think probably the Linux OS is better (forking under Linux is nearly as fast
as threading on NT!), but [for the most part] GCC is unfathomably lame when it
comes to creating an optimized binary. {On the other hand, the diagnostics are
excellent}.
There are some new compilers from Intel for Linux that should change things a
bit. Right now, Win32 compiled programs are faster. But the Intel compilers
for Linux will probably level the playing field. They may even surpass.
I know some people have been giving them a go. Got a benchmark, anyone?
