Hello, I have noticed similar things. I have always attributed the slower speed on Windows due to the fact that Microsoft hired the best students from the best schools but most of them knew nothing about programming and programming history (in particular Unix), thus these geniuses re-invented the OS wheel in designing and building a monolithic operating system that took about 10 times as much code as it took Unix (and subsequently Linux). To me it is not surprising that Windows had more bugs than Linux (despite huge advances, it probably still has more bugs). In any case, programming Windows for a Linux programmer is a nightmare -- 10 times harder to do almost anything, because there are far more OS calls; they all have different arguments; many of which are not well or not at all document, ...
So, I have just attributed this to being normal Windows inefficiencies. Of course, the above is sort of a gut feeling. Perhaps someone can do some real performance testing and figure out what is really going on.
