Pretty much everything is faster in Linux than in Windows. The Windows programmers need to prove to their bosses that they are doing the right thing, but the Linux programmers only need to prove to their peers that they are doing the right thing when they make improvements. Linux has things like zero-copy networking, which are not widely implemented in the Windows kernel(s).
