I became curious about how fast my machines would run and the differences
between Windows and Linux.

1.6Ghz Celeron, 1GB, Vista Home basic(32-bit) - 12m 40s
2.2Ghz Amd x2 4200, 1GB, XP Media Edition(32-bit) - 6m 17s (12m 37s on 1 cpu).
2.33Ghz Intel Quad 8200, 6GB, Vista Home Premium (64-bit) - 1m 59s (7m 49s on 1
cpu)
2.4Ghz Intel Quad 6600, 5GB, Vista Home premium (64-bit) - 1m 58s (7m 46s on 1
cpu)

I also have Mandriva 2008(32-bit) installed on the Q6600 - 1m 55s (7M 40s on 1
cpu).


So on the same hardware 32-bit Linux is very slightly faster than 64-bit Vista.

As soon as I get another hard drive for the Q8200 I plan to install a 64-bit
Linux in a dual-boot configuration.  I doubt that the 64-bit OS would make very
much difference in performance. The additional memory would help if I had an
extremely large number of objects, other than that there wouldn' be much
difference.
