> performs the same/better under Linux

...yeah, I was wondering that too. This seems like a job for a Gentoo system, compiled from the ground up with "-march=native". Would love to know how that would turn out performance-wise, in comparison to Windows.

There's also KISS Linux, which I find quite approachable compared to Gentoo. I know, sounds totally backwards, but I think it's really cool how simple it is to manage your repositories and make your own packages. And yes, you recompile the whole system with `-march=native` during the install process :)

GKISS if you want glibc.
