Dual core AMD64 - Mandriva 2008.0 - FB2.0.3 - FlameRobin 0.8.1
Setup as installed by Mandriva by default - classic build

Windows has just finished the job on a slower 32 bit machine in 1 hour 39
minutes and I was doing other things on the same machine! Against 4.5 hours on
the linux box with nothing else being deliberately done in it. Data was
restored from the same backup as the Linux machine and exactly the same script
run to create the stored procedure. This MUST be a set-up problem on the
Mandriva box?

Interestingly both produce the same 15 faults - but that is another problem
which it's easier to fix manually that work out why they are wrong - The
procedure is adding a transact_no field which should be 0,1,2,3 in place of
the time stamp sequencing but on the odd record you get 0,1,1,3 or 0,0
