Thanks. Not that I’m totally impressed, but this is more than I expected when I stumpled upon a link on SU telling that the info here is quite decent. Thanks.

I too am an ubuntu 7.10 user, and have a relatively high performance computer with two identical 350 sata drives (one windows, for a legacy program or two, and one ubuntu, which is my primary operating system). I have not taken the time to do the careful analysis of performance you have done here, but my anecdotal experience is entirely consistent with your results. Gimp is a probably a poor application to use as a comparison (for the reasons you have noted), but my experience with photoshop vs. gimp is nevertheless consistent with the performance differences you observed. Personally, I strongly encourage everyone to work within a linux/open source environment, and find that ubuntu is the best distro for migrating users, even those with more than adequate system resources for a windows installation.
