How the fuck should I know? You could be running Windows (3.1|95|98|2000|ME|XP), (Net|Free|Open)BSD, Linux, BeOS, OS/2 (heh) perhaps some others.

Based on my experience with the Linux version, if the Windows one sucks it might be that the code isn't well-optimized for Windows yet. Or perhaps there's a loop in the Windows kernel that checks for competing products and slows them down. :)
