Hi all,

I'm just collating some results from a test run I did using a Monte Carlo
code on two different computers, one was a 1.5GHz P4 running Windows 2000
and the other was a 2.0GHz P4 running RH8.

The Windows machine was faster than the RH machine. I ran the test again and
got the same result. The difference was only 10%, but it was a surprise. Has
anyone got any idea why there was so much of a difference?

The test case didn't use much memory and the version of the program was the
same in both cases (apart from running on different OSs of course).
