Yeah, it will not be native speed.  Depending on what's in the Windows server,
it should do ok if it's unloaded (like you say).

That does not work, btw.

If you're concerned with performance, I hate to say it :-), but be sure to
evalute your #3 vs. your #4 and #3 vs. #4/Win4Lin.

It sounds like you are just setting up one computer, in which case, I wouldn't
go to all this trouble if you are looking for more performance, I'd just buy
another computer (this method does not scale well ;-).
