Just wanted to pick some brains. I'm running eon2 right now on 4 AMD rigs, 3-Phenoms and 1-FX8150 Bulldozer. The Phenoms aren't too bad, speed wise, the Bulldozer really sucks. In any case, I have VirtualBox and Linux 10.0.4 on 2 of the boxes. I started running eon Linux, under the VM and here's what I'm seeing. The times are pretty consistent.

Cut wu times by 400 seconds.

So I guess my question is this...are all cpu projects (that have both applications) faster under Linux or did I just happen to find one that was? Here are the applications available.

Linux running on an AMD x86_64 or Intel EM64T CPU
Windows client for 32 bit and 64 bit CPUs

According to WuProp there is no data for Win7 64 on eon2, which makes me wonder if Win7 runs the 32 bit application. Could that be what's causing the slower work times? If so, it would really pay me to start looking at the applications available. If Win7 doesn't have a 64 bit app and Linux does I presume it would run faster under the VM. Am I thinking about this correctly?
