Google doesnt know why Linux is fast!
Interesting read:
http://groups.google.com/group/chromium … b998?pli=1
My three laptops have relatively comparable hardware and run Chrome on
Windows, Mac, and Linux respectively. The Linux version of Chrome
feels ridiculously faster than Windows and Mac. Do we understand why
this is? Can we make Windows and Mac feel that fast too?

Sure. Just trim out all the excess crap that runs in the background of Windows and Mac OS and it'll run like the wind

But how can you run it on Windows after removing Windows?
E.g. System32 and everything related to it.
I wonder if they would show up at a horse race with an elephant and wonder why they get lapped.

Seriously, XP is surprisingly fast as long as there is no software and no documents.
