Well, if this is on server-side processing, 700 msec along is dead slow, even
service-stopping slow for typical request processing. :-)
I mean, 1.5 transactions per second per core is two orders of magnitude from
what most services would want to see (at least ones I've worked with).
At least considering it's a cpu-intensive task not dependant on external
resources.
Of course 0.7 seconds may be just fine for batch-processing or client-side. But
for most web services it'd be too slow.
As to platform differences, locking is one area where platform/OS does matter.
So if and when there are differences, that could explain it.
Otherwise it does seem odd indeed that cpu intensive task performance was
asymmetrics between linux and windows.
