Peter Burger <[email-masked]> has sent some additional information
on GAUSSIAN performance under Windows and Linux.  His results using the
latest revision of Gaussian for Windows shows performance comparable to
Linux.  He shows an improvement of greater than 2x under the new Windows
version compared to the old one.

Dear George,

Test178 old G94W version 1 h 8 min!!!!!

new G94W version: Test178 under WIN-NT 4.0  28min 10 sec
                  Test178 under LINUX 2.024 28min 49 sec

I cannot seem to find the Win95 numbers right now but from
what I remember it was around 27min30sec i.e. slightly faster
than the NT version.

All times are for 200 MHz PPros with 64 or 128 MB EDO-RAM
(not interleaved) with 4 GB SCSI-II W or UW disks (Atlas-II and Seagate
Barracuda both 7200 rpm drives) run with 4MW memory in G94.

Best wishes,

Peter
