We talked about how linux process creation and context switches are
much fast then Windows,
One example from Microsoft's report they show the number of CPU cycles
needed to "create and start a process" as 1,032,000 for FreeBSD,
719,000 for Linux, and 5,376,000 for Windows/XP.

So microsoft admits linux is 746% fast at creating a process then Windows.
