Re: huge performance diff between windows and linux.

I might be wrong, but if you are using nts it means you are using IIS, try ts with apache and compare results.

In my personal experience, PHP runs slower on IIS because it uses it as CGI.

Let us know how it goes.

Hey I have an issue and I ran out of ideas.
I have two virtual servers, one running debian with compiled php and one
running server 2008 with php non thread safe version.
Both have 5.5.3 version installed and both have almoust the same config and
modules, with opcache enabled.

However I ran the benchmark script found online and I get this values:

Linux:

PHP version : 5.5.3
Platform : Linux
--------------------------------------
test_math                 : 1.677 sec.
test_stringmanipulation   : 1.625 sec.
test_loops                : 0.910 sec.
test_ifelse               : 0.757 sec.
--------------------------------------
Total time:               : 4.969 sec.

Windows:

PHP version : 5.5.3
Platform : WINNT
--------------------------------------
test_math                 : 2.516 sec.
test_stringmanipulation   : 5.297 sec.
test_loops                : 1.516 sec.
test_ifelse               : 0.781 sec.
--------------------------------------
Total time:               : 10.11 sec.


The question is am I missing something? can somebody with more experience
advise me what to setup on php or iis to improve this?
Not to mention that the windows server has double amount of ram and cpu.

I know I know I should blame Microsoft but even so I doubt THEY can do anything
in this setup. So I doing my best on my own, I would love to have Linux on that
box but it's not up to me.
