...Windows does have better I/O than Linux but I don't think this is the issue. It could well be that Linux is more of a victim to the virtualization that Windows is...for whatever reason. After all, the origin post said this testing is being done in virtual partitions.

I bet 50 cents than the numbers would be closer if Oracle was, um, a little closer to the HW than it is now...virtualization tortures I/O and that torturing may be more painfull to Lin than Win
