It's catching up but it isn't faster at this point.  The time that it
takes for Windows is still less tht Linux according to the numbers. 
Maybe it's because it takes more CPU to run Windows (but then it sits
idle more after it's started).

I have seti running on (2) P4 2.4ghz, (2) AMD 1700+ and (6) P3 450mhz
and a fried has it running on some similar hardware and I tend to beat
him by about 5% on average unless I'm playing warcraft in which case
it slows considerably :) but I leave it running anyways.

The good news is that we see a lot more people running Linux...
