An Oracle take on Windows vs. Linux

Wednesday Feb 28, 2007

Interesting preso on Linux, showing Windows beating it in performance. details at: www.oracle.com/technology/tech/dotnet/col/europe2006/ukoug_2006-best_practices_rac_on_64-bit_windows.ppt

"Load Test Windows 2003 v Red Hat 4.0 (64 bit)"
...here are my summary from their slides:

    "RAC Stress Test (150-250 users)

  • MS Windows 16% more Transactions/Minute (TPM)
  • response times up to 50% faster on Windows
  • 250 users: Linux 30% of sorts on disk vs. sorts in memory
  • Linux used 17%-40% more memory...

    RAC User Load Tests (2500–4500 users)

  • 3500 users, Windows 18% more TPM
  • 4000 users, Windows TPM increased, Linux failed to complete
  • 2500 users, response was 9%-33% faster on Windows
  • Linux used 5%-25% more memory"
I didn't know Oracle was really getting into deciding which OS to prefer?

Weird. Wouldn't open in PowerPoint. Imported fine into StarOffice. Resaved as PowerPoint out of StarOffice, now opens fine in PowerPoint.

I guess your comment would have been different if it had been Solaris instead of Windows.
