My experience shows the inverse. Many times, FB is faster on Linux.
When this doesn't happen, I guess the problem is not really Firebird,
but the fact that too few people knows how to fine-tune a linux
server (I'm not a linux guru either).

Probably Milan or Alex can comment about this benchmark, since they
have much more experience with Linux.
