Numbers, please. I'm not saying it's false, just that it's unscientific
flame bait unless you specify precisely what you mean by that, in a form
that allows us to reproduce your test and see the results ourselves.
ScratchMonkey, how long have you been on the list? This has come up
time and again, and every time it turns out that you can squeeze more
servers on the same hardware (or run each server with higher fps) on
Windows than on Linux. This is an age-old question that's been
"numbered" to death over the years. The fact is that the windows server
binaries use less CPU than the Linux versions. As has been said before,
that doesn't mean that Windows is a better *choice*, necessarily.
