IIUC, on both OSes, their native means of doing asynchronous I/O on
network sockets are used -- epoll on Linux and IOCPs on Windows.
Basically this means that performance differences on the same hardware
should be due to differences in the underlying OS implementations
and kernel defaults and/or their tuning.
