My test: Open and close of database on Domino with Linux is 5 times better as with Windows 2003? It is possible?

I have created a Lotus Script agent that is opening and closing a database on a Domino server. The script is easy:

"

stime = Timer()     

	For i=1 To 1000

	Set db=ns.getdatabase(servnam,dbnam)

	test=db.isopen

	Call db.close

Next



tdif = Timer() - stime

"

This agent is scheduled and runs locally at the Workstation (on behalf “Enable scheduled local Agent”)

Lotus Notes 6.5.1 is installed at the Workstation (normal 2,00Ghz PC with Windows XP ) .

We installed and tested Lotus Domino 6.5.1 at the Server with different OS. First with Suse Linux 8.x and later with Windows 2003.

The network protocol is TCP/IP.

The result is terrible. The average time for 1000 db to open and to close is 5 times better with Linux as it is with Windows 2003.

Lately we tested this agent with Lotus Notes installed on the same machine as Domino (with Windows 2003 OS).

The network protocol was also TCP/IP. As expected, the time for opening and closing was correct.

Here are the results:

Times on 1000 access

Lotus Notes on PC and Domino on Server with Linux

41,67 Sec

Lotus Notes on PC and Domino on Server with Windows 2003

205,04 Sec

Lotus Notes and Domino on the same Server with Windows 2003

13,75 Sec

My questions: Do I think in a wrong way?

Is TCP/IP on Windows 2003 installed or configured wrong?

Did someone have similar experiences?

What could be done?

Thanks

Subject: My test: Open and close of database on Domino with Linux is 5 times better as with Windows 2003?? It is possible??

And I continued my Experiments.

I accomplished the same test with one, two, three etc. runs instead of with thousands runs.

Here are the results (average duration per run - 1/100 Sec):

Result: average duration per access with Domino/Windows grows first (of 1,25 on 20) and then flattens, with Domino/Linux remains relatively constantly (2,5 - 4).

Why?
