I've noticed faster renders using DOS versus Windows, on average about 8
minutes less per hour. But it is subjective to the scene file and the
machine setup I think, so if anything you might say Windows takes 105%
to 120% longer to render. The variances people see doesn't permit a firm
statement on it I believe. Suffice it to say Windows will probably
always be the slower.
