Comment Digital Unix runs 25% faster than Linux on Alpha. (Score 1) 137
That 25% is based on better compilers - the gap disappears when running DU compiled code on alpha linux.
There's nothing to stop Compaq releasing their compilers for alpha linux though, which is a win for them because they can still make money selling good compilers, without all of the R&D involved in writing the entire OS.
