Comment Re:Yet another Linux vs. NT benchmark (Score 1) 203
Linux smokes NT at CGI because UNIX is designed to work with lots of small processes and NT isn't. NT tends to use threads rather than processes, and can't start processes quickly or even handle many at a time. On the other hand, NT can create (or unblock) a thread quickly... a lot quicker than Linux can start a CGI. ASP versus modperl would be a better test.
