We measured performance information to see the differences between Windows and Linux platforms. The test done against the Windows server gave users marginally shorter wait-times by electing to turn some traffic away. The Linux server, however, scaled to serving a greater number of users with reasonable responsiveness before its maximum capacity was reached.

We have measured performance information to distinguish the differences between the Windows and Linux platforms. Given comparable hardware we found the performance differences almost trivial. When the server was pressed to capacity, our Windows installation was forced to turn away some traffic with minimal alteration in service performance, while our Linux installation elected to service nearly all the connections at the cost of introducing latency.
