Slowly changing over to 3.03... got a question

I've decided to start switching over my computers to 3.03 whenever I catch them at the very beginning of a work unit. I am considering switching over my Celeron2 box to Linux from Win2k, and was wondering if the 3.03 Linux version is faster than the WindowsCLI on low angle range work units like 3.0 was. I've read that with v3.0, low angle range units will complete faster in linux than with the winnt-cmdline version. Is this the same with 3.03? or was this all false information?
 
SETIDude - This past weekend, I ran the 3.03 CLI with a 0.001 angle range donated by one of the TA Seti folks... The WU was run on my Linux using WINE (w/nt40 file system). The VLAR problem appears to still be there - although I know for a fact that with 3.0 on 2K/NT, it wasn't *as bad* as it was 9x/ME. And with this last test, the prob was there. So I would expect that on 9x/ME + 3.03, I would see it *worse* than what I saw with NT + 3.03.

In the case of Linux 3.0, it ran the VLARs faster. I haven't run that 0.001 on my Linux yet (because I had keeled over after it took 12 clock hours to run a 8 1/2 hour WU with what was the equivalent of NT 4 on a P3 600@800). That will be my next step, although I'm pretty certain that conditions haven't really changed since 3.0 and my linux will run it faster, but I have to see... 🙁
