I don't know why you keep thinkkng I'm running Parallels! I'm running it
in Bootcamp. Parallels I'd definitely expect to be slower - less memory
available, less CPU available, and a virtualized harddisk interface, not
to mention 100 other reasons it'll be slower.
Bootcamp, however, runs like greased lightning - completely native, nice
drivers for the Apple hardware, etc. And it allows me to DIRECTLY compare
the exactly same app, running on the exact same hardware, running the
exact same project, with the only major difference being the OS. And in
this instance XP is beating OSX hands down.
I'm a long time Mac OSX fanatic; I'm definitely not trying to start an OS
war; I'm interested though if anyone else can replicate my results. I'm
ONLY interested in Bootcamp-based tests. Parallels, while interesting to
me (and a valid test for those who want to use Parallels) isn't for me.
