Apache does tend to be slower on Windows. I think it would be worthwhile to
test using the typical IIS/FastCGI configuration or CLI on Windows. For
example, on my server I see a total ~44sec with Apache, and ~31sec using either
IIS or CLI (W2K8R2, PHP 5.3.8 x86). If you do end up profiling this I would be
very interested to see what you find.
My own reasoning for using Apache is that the configuration is identical between
the Linux boxes and the Windows ones. I don't want to be having to build
different installations especially where we are running multiple site via
Apache. That and we still have W2k or XP Home on many sites, so no IIS ;)
My single core XP Home machine is giving 77 seconds for the benchmark, which is
more in line with what I would expect, and running from the command line, it
drops to 75 seconds, so Apache is not getting in the way too much.
