FF starts up in Linux less then 3 secs while it takes 27 secs in Windows with the same machine. The V8 benchmark result is probably the comparing between a linux and a 'naked' windows which is a weak OS without any antivirus, antispyware and other software. In the real one, a windows user usually have to install all these anti-stuffs. they slow down a machine quite a bit. To make things worse, windows file system jammed together in profile directory, those file structures work hard with anti-stuffs together, only for one thing : to make the machine slower and slower, day by day.

Or did I miss something? Wine+Firefox is not the same as Windows+Firefox. Really, there's a huge difference. Are you seriously using Firefox through Wine as the Windows side in this comparison?
