There would be other concerns with linux on the whole in regard to security issues as well as tcp/ip issues. I mean I still have a hard time grasping linux as a serious operating system when little things like how "far" away localhost is keep coming to mind. not to mention the little to no real auditing of code. Performance just isn't a big enough issue since there is not that much of a gain or loss in one direction or another to be any cause for alarm.
