	Hmmm... I know that the processor speed is really
different (eight times faster), but there are other things
that you should consider on this, NIC, RAM memory, network
infra structure and specially configuration. =)

	What about add: "SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192" to
socket options, in GNU/Linux systems it should bring better
results to you. ;)

	Also came to my mind things like DNS and WINS, which
should affect w2k and xp in different ways.

	Kind regards,
