Face Off: Windows vs Linux Real World RAM and Disk Tests
Jul 23, 2008, 02 :00 UTC (2 Talkback[s]) (5129 reads)

(Other stories by David M Williams)

"Windows’ memory usage went up by 0.07GB, or 71.68MB. The CPU still fluctuated madly but hung around 20%. Under Fedora, memory usage increased by only 50MB and with a maximum processor utilisation of 4%, shortly resuming to 1% while sitting idle (with Windows still jumping all about.) Closing each application did release the memory and this was reliably repeated over several tests. However, opening Microsoft Word multiple times – including with a large 53 page document – did consume substantially more memory than the equivalent actions and document with OpenOffice Writer. Additionally, Fedora’s processor usage remained in low numbers, and barely rose above 1% when idle."
