[Gdal-dev] linux vs windows performance

[Matt Wilkie]

Hello,

In case anyone wonders about the relative performance of gdal on Windows 
vs Linux:

Test case: gdal_merge of 154 dems in ArcInfo GRID format totalling 1gb.

Windows, from local disk to local disk:	1hr 15min
Linux, from network to local disk: 15 min

linux machine is 450Mhz & 768mb ram,
Windows is 3Ghz & 2Gb ram,
both dual xeons

cheers,
