Hello.
I stumble upon this 'problem' while comparing speed of xampp vs lampp.
The problem is that, for some unknown to me reason, performance in xampp (Windows) is much higher then under lampp (Linux), like about two times.
I run WindosXP SP3 and Kubuntu 8.10, i checked on my laptop, that have 1.4GHz Celeron (Ubuntu 8.10), but execution of my php script is the same like on my Kubuntu desktop (AMD Athlon 3700+ - 2.2 GHz) so thats kinda strange. I know that KDE4 takes some CPU time, but i doubt thats the reason for that slow down.

I didnt change any settings, its same as package that i dl'ed.

Any sugestion what can be at fault?

Sorry for my eng , its not my native.

Best regards
Talei

Oh. i forget to mention that my Kubuntu is 64bit, can it caus this performance gap?

Best regards

Yes, XAMPP is designed to run on 32bit OS. If you run it on a 64bit OS, the 32bit Application is run with an special emulator. This is not working perfectly, espcially under Linux there are often problems, most of all with the glibc-Library.

Could you try the same thing with an 32bit Kubuntu? I guess there it would be faster.
