Hehe, you are very optimistic! :)

I have seen some reasonably complex books typeset in LaTeX which can take 
about a month of computer time to be processed under Windows Xp on a 2GHz 
with 1G RAM machine and took only a few hours on a Linux Celeron 600MHz 
with 256M RAM.

So, the Windows OS can make things tens if not hundreds of times slower 
(and I am not some "script-kiddie" Linux zealot child but professional 
programmer who spent 11 years on operating systems development and I 
personally don't care what OS the computer runs, as long as it does the 
job.
