That is a difference of roughly 84,000-28,000 for doing two WU's. I am just amazed.
such things just should not be writ so please destroy this if you wish to live 'tis better in ignorance to dwell than to go screaming into the abyss worse than hell

You can't entirely beleive these numberst as you weren't running the two binaries on identical results (and they do differ in amount of work needed to complete), but this is huge difference and it does indicate that windows binary is better optimized than linux binary.

I am going to be doing more research into this. Once I have enough, I should be able to find a nice average as to the difference. Maybe I can even find out what is really optimized by looking at an assembly dump of the code.

If these results hold up it certainly is an incentive for Linux users to install WINE and use the Windows client. An approximately 3 to 1 speed increase is impressive!
Q. I see the results still have Pending credit. Will they in fact, validate correctly? i.e. They crunched faster, but did they return correct science?

I am waiting to see. Once I know, I will definately post a followup!

I just received credit for the first unit I have processed using the Win App runing under wine running under linux. I received about as many points in about 7 hours of crunching as I have gotten in about 24 hours of crunching for previous units processed using the native linux app. So the win app is about three times as fast. And it does produce validated results at least some of the time. Not clear yet whether it can consistently produce validated results.

While I was sitting here typing the above reply, my second unit using the Win app running under wine running under linux finished. Validated immediately. Same points & running time statistics as I described above.

Hmm, I was using WINE for a

Hmm, I was using WINE for a while, the first WU finished fine but the 2 following it were invalid (only took 10000s, something screwed up big time).
How exactly are you invoking WINE?

One of my results has now been validated as well. Still waiting for the others to come through.

I use the following:
wine boinc_cli.exe -update_prefs http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/ -return_results_immediately
I haven't even tried using the boinc_gui.exe Maybe that was your problem?

I type:
nice -19 wine boinc_4.19_windows_intelx86.exe
I don't know enough about the project to understand why my answer is different from the previous answer by Jordan Wilberding.
