???
Do you mean Windows is faster than Linux ?
Or are you speaking about Freebsd/NetBsd/SunOs, ...

The choice made by gwan are the same than those of Vibe
- 1 thread/core
- aync IO + a blocking api (thanks to Fiber for Vibe)
- dynamic page in a low level language ( C vs D )

the MAIN difference:
- Vibe is a library ! If you develop a site with it you must 
reompile in case of change.
- Gwan C applets are automatically recompiled on-the-fly in case 
of change
   NB: this could be done in Vibe ... may-be easier than the 
load-balancer approach.

By the way, I like the approach of Yeoseod benchmark: create a 
script to install, run and analyse tests on an EC2 instance. Thus 
easily reproductible by (almost) everyone !

May be someone should update this test
- add NGinx, Gwan, Vibe, ...
- use also a micro instance
- transfert small file (1K), big file (1MB), dynamic page (hello 
world), real stuff ex: gwan loan page (CPU intensive, thus 
obviously good for C and D)

I think this test could become THE comparison test such as 
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/ is THE comparison test for 
languages...

Unfortunately, I haven't access to an EC2 instance :-(
