You bring up one of the finest uses of Linux. Running the same program in Linux and Windows, you'll find it will run twice as fast in Linux. I took a Windows XP laptop that a friend found was just too slow and gave it to me. Off came Windows XP and on went Lubuntu, the LXDE based version of Ubuntu 32-bit. The computer is downright zippy! I take it to my astronomy club star parties and use it to crunch my cell phone images into some pretty stunning astrophotos.
So Linux can turn a computer that's ready for the garbage into something useful!
