Guys are you running anti-virus when doing this with XP?
Anti-virus is a know process pig...

Well, to be honest Darth, most people will see something on the order of
probably a 50% (or more) CPU utilization drop from Windows to Linux/OS X.
Not sure what's going on in your specific setup, but you are probably the
only person I've heard from who did not observe an eye-popping drop in CPU
between the operating systems. 99% of people will see a very, very
significant change. I personally run the entire configured/loaded IEWB
topology on OS X at ~30% CPU, whereas I would hit 100% CPU on Windows before
I even finished launching the first 10 unconfigured routers.
And you are correct on the stability thing, as I just mentioned.
Regards,
Scott

Better how? All I am talking about is CPU util. I bet its a lot more stable
in linux, but for CPU performance, seems about the same to me. I am just
letting people know that it runs perfectly fine on windows XP (I would never
even try on vista). No need digging into linux if your not a linux dork.
Windows hate is strong, but it still runs fine on windows.

Don't tell me Darth I came to know that Linux is far more better then
Windows when it comes to run dynamips/Pemu and others.

great on a dual core proc. I have tried running it in linux a few
times, CPU usage seems to be about the same in my experience.
