That doesn't really make any sense. Things that use directx on
windows are typically slightly faster than openGL equivalents and
everything else should work at hardware/wire speeds. A badly
maintained windows box might be more likely to have disk fragmentation
or malware, or it might have an intentionally-installed virus scanner
wasting time.
