I've only compared linux & windows on 1 machine and did find the windows OS to have a higher RAC, but this would have simple been form the normal RAC variance.

Thanks is difference is no more then few percent it has no sense to use Linux over Windows

I have gotten reported CPU usage as high as 98.8% for Seti using thinned -doze XP SP2
Have seen OSX as good as 98.2% w/ Leopard w/ no special "thinning".

This while stilll having wireless processes w/ a normal GUI active.

I'd say that 98.x % usage w/o having to boot into command line is pretty darn good!

An OS still needs some CPU afterall

Probably it's more question of compiler quality available for particular OS than OS overhead itself...
