I recently did a project where all the development was done under Linux. 
  The program ran smoother and faster under Linux than it does under 
Windows.  My clients however have much faster computers and that made it 
work fine on their machines too.  I think Windows is just a resource and 
processor hog and that Linux has a smoother interrupt and timing 
environment.
