RE:"You sure about this? I thought that the same memory protections that made NT stable also, other things being equal, also made it slow. I know this is true for 3d games. "

I recall seeing many tests where NT outperformed Win 95/98 on the same platform. Same for W2k vs 98. The difference varies with the benchmark but it is significant.
As far as the benchmark used on that site, Ali says its MP3 encoding. That would be very FPU intensive...
