g++linux vs visual c++windows software build performance
...
let's see:
1) files on remote server, Linux faster than Windwos; 2) files on local machine, Linux about same speed, Windwos much faster, faster than even Linux
Everything made by Dell sucks like a Dyson, even those "free Dell printers" don't come with ink cartridges or a USB cord and do literally about two PPM (I've worked with them...
What would you conclude from that raw summary? The difference is due to the source of the data - in (1) it's over a network whereas with (2) it's all local; for (1) there is the network "overhead" which is missing from (2).
The obvious conclusion is that the compiler is waiting for data from the network for Windwos (network bound), whereas with Linux, the compiler is more cpu bound (you don't specify what compile options you have run, nor how fast the final programs run and with what data they operate).
Which leads to the conclusion that networking under Windwos is not very good. Either it is poor that the compiler is waiting for data, or the compiler is affecting the networking ability of Windwos - ie the networking of Windwos is dependent upon the load of the machine (to a much greater extent than Linux).
Compiling a big project can be quite a severe load on the system - it's often a good check of hardware to compile a Linux kernel!
