In other words, a high-reliability journaling file system installed by
anti-Linux people is a bit slower than a stripped-for-speed version of
Windows tweaked by the development team. Note how this came out after
Linux Gazette[1] (& others) recently benchmarked the relative speeds
of the various file systems, so Redmond knew how to get the worst
performance.

Did they also compare a (default) uniprocessor installation of RedHat
to (tweaked) SMP Windows? If it doesn't say, chances are that's part
of the FUDDD[2] campaign.
