Windows XP x64 vs Ubuntu x64 performance

[izanbardprince]

Using BOINC on World Community Grid, devoting my system runtime exclusively to FightAIDS@Home:

Windows XP Professional x64:

2215 Floating Point MIPS
4027 Integer MIPS

Average Time To Completion per work unit: 4h 21m

Ubuntu Feisty x64:

1968 Floating Point MIPS
5864 Integer MIPS

Average Time To Completion per work unit: 5h 32m


Both clients were running on same system with same BOINC preference settings.


Windows x64 is faster?

Now test Vista.

I plan to, maybe after I throw in another gigabyte of RAM, you know, just to distract it, then while it's off chewing that module up, I might be able to do something before it comes back for the first gig. :P
