Re: Linux vs. Windows

It's quite suprising how fast my PHP (and Perl) is under WinME/Apache 1.3.27/PHP 4.3.2... It's unstable as F though so not way to recommended... I was intrested in your server specs? How much RAM? And so on... And was the tests on the same server or did I missunderstand something?
