The only way to know which system will be faster at running your workload is to benchmark them using your workload.
For what it's worth (which isn't much), the first thing that jumps out at me from the OP is the cache differential. Cache misses are awfully expensive.
It's been over 15 years since I first encountered it, but the word "bogomips" still makes me chuckle a bit.

For some reason 8.1 Mandrake Linux seems much slower than Windows 2000 with my cable modem. DSL reports test says they conferable speed with Windows2 though.
This is consistant slow with both of my boxes, at the same time. Linux used to be faster, but not with Mandrake. Any way to fix this? (17 Replies)

cache::filecache
Cache::FileCache(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Cache::FileCache(3pm)
NAME
Cache::FileCache -- implements the Cache interface.
DESCRIPTION
The FileCache class implements the Cache interface. This cache stores data in the filesystem so that it can be shared between processes.
SYNOPSIS
use Cache::FileCache;
my $cache = new Cache::FileCache( { 'namespace' => 'MyNamespace',
'default_expires_in' => 600 } );
See Cache::Cache for the usage synopsis.
METHODS
See Cache::Cache for the API documentation.
Clear( [$cache_root] )
See Cache::Cache, with the optional $cache_root parameter.
Purge( [$cache_root] )
See Cache::Cache, with the optional $cache_root parameter.
Size( [$cache_root] )
See Cache::Cache, with the optional $cache_root parameter.
OPTIONS
See Cache::Cache for standard options. Additionally, options are set by passing in a reference to a hash containing any of the following
keys:
cache_root
The location in the filesystem that will hold the root of the cache. Defaults to the 'FileCache' under the OS default temp directory (
often '/tmp' on UNIXes ) unless explicitly set.
cache_depth
The number of subdirectories deep to cache object item. This should be large enough that no cache directory has more than a few
hundred objects. Defaults to 3 unless explicitly set.
directory_umask
The directories in the cache on the filesystem should be globally writable to allow for multiple users. While this is a potential
security concern, the actual cache entries are written with the user's umask, thus reducing the risk of cache poisoning. If you desire
it to only be user writable, set the 'directory_umask' option to '077' or similar. Defaults to '000' unless explicitly set.
PROPERTIES
See Cache::Cache for default properties.
(get|set)_cache_root
See the definition above for the option cache_root
(get|set)_cache_depth
See the definition above for the option cache_depth
(get|set)_directory_umask
See the definition above for the option directory_umask
