Well, the benchmark program doesn't do any I/O (except to report results
at the end). I'm using the same physical hardware in both cases, but
perhaps Linux and/or VMware is configuring the cache differently in some
way. Or perhaps Linux provides the memory to the process in a more
cache-friendly way. My program is passing over a 1 MB array from
beginning to end multiple times. This is also a dual core machine, but
the program has only a single task.
I could try experimenting with different array sizes.
