I took the opportunity while testing builds of Win2008 x86 and x64 to install LP and run the same test. I found the results rather surprising. All tests (building Reubke's sonata on the 94th psalm using LP 2.13.3) conducted on the same machine:
Debian 4 amd64: 4min 4sec Win2008 SP2 x64: 5min 58sec Win2008 SP2 x86: 6m 3sec That's quite a substantial performance hit for the Windows version compared to Linux. I don't have a server build of x86 Linux but if I get the chance tomorrow I'll see if Ubuntu 9.04 x86 has the Perc drivers needed to install on the server and run the test with that.
