The test results above were also from Nexuiz IIRC, which may be better optimized for Linux than for Windows. Just a guess tho...

I was intending to run another series of benchmarks with Unreal Tournament 2004 but am yet to find time for that.

What you're probably aiming at is the 'visual noice' of all the button and icons, etc. There is a presentation of the KDE Academy 2010 on YouTube about the user interface design inconsistancies in KDE 4.4 and more specificaly the lack of UI patterns acros the SC spectrum of applications. Those should have been adressed at least partialy in SC 4.5.
So don't worry; it has acknowledged and it is being worked on
Pictures: Old & new
The new one is as much crap as the old one. The size of the window is hard-coded so it doesn't remember its size after it's closed. Nor can it be forced to be of different size from KWin settings. The preview pane is still on the right side of the window wasting lots of space. Also notice the poor layout of the widgets, absolutely horrible.
That is the development they manage to do and - it - just - makes - me - cry.

I did some benchmarking on my own with Unigine Sanctuary. With Compiz enabled Ubuntu (64 bit) was slightly slower (few percent) than Win7 (64 bit with Aero). With Compiz disabled, Ubuntu was in turn somewhat faster than Win7 without Aero. Driver versions were the same, and it was a relatively dated NVidia 9600GT.

Thanks
It?s great to see someone like Phoronix doing benchmarking tests on operating systems. This gives everyone objective and trustworthy standards when choosing an operating system. Thank you for providing this service. Best, Andrea Hofer Windows 7 Professional Outreach Team @Win7ProSB

Linux doesn't receive the type of compatibility from nvidia/ati that Windows receives.
Even with shoddy drivers, the margins are small - especially for the limited range of games that Linux and Windows share.
These benchmarks show the Linux community where Linux stands.
I'm positive that the mainstream consumer is not referring to phoronix when contemplating operating systems.
Most consumers don't even know of Linux.
