I also run Win Xp SP2 on my laptop (work provided) which is where I usually run Lilypond (typical .ly file compile times are about 5+/-2 seconds from my memory), but I have a Vista machine (newer, wife uses mainly) and an older machine running Ubuntu for now at home. I want to get her used to the idea of Linux and make the switch the next time Vista crashes hard ;-)
Thanks for the information. Did you mean you switched from Lilypond back to some proprietary music software and that forced you to use Windows instead of Linux? I don't know what DAW is.

Of course I ran the tests several times. On XP I only ran the necessary processes and the compile times were stable. Ubuntu was right out of the box and compile times differed. I switched back to XP for it was easier for me to use other musical software (DAW) Hajo 2008/11/12 Tim Reeves <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Hajo Dezelski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Thinkpad x61s New Ubuntu (Linux) Dual 1,6 GHz 2 GB 4-5 s Thinkpad x61s New XP Dual 1,6 GHz 2 GB 2 s Only one data point but interesting: Faster on WinXP than on Ubuntu.
