Windows vs Linux PureBasic speed

Post by davies »

Hi,

Thanks to everyone who helped with my question regarding the speed of PureBasic. I understand now that it is as fast as anything else, particularly is ASM is used in calculation-intensive loops.

The next question is, in terms of raw speed (i.e., floating point calculations), would the compiled programme run at the same speed in Windows and Linux (using the same machine) or is one of them quicker than the other? I suppose I'm asking where the overhead due to the OS is the same for both.

I tried searching this forum but couldn't find an answer to this.

Thanks in advance.

it should be almost the same speed because the generated code is the same.
