Given equal hardware configurations...

Properly tuned NT CANNOT be faster than properly tuned *NIX based server.

The NT GUI Interface causes too much overhead to even compete with the *NIX based system.

IMO, *NIX based systems will beat NT in all of the following areas as well:

1) Scalability
2) Reliability
3) Securty
4) Remote Administration
5) Performance

Running high traffic adult sites on NT RARELY works out. I know of only a handful of high traffic adult sites that use NT based servers.

I'd guess that 95% of the adult web runs on Unix based servers. For all of the reasons I mentioned above.
