Well, my 2c is on how much money you're willing to spend (i.e. a Mac is more
expensive than a Linux on a i386 or maybe even on an AMD64), and how far you're
willing to go when pushing the OS hacking, i.e. installing a 2.6 kernel on a
Linux box just to get that extra juice off the iron or just stick with your
"default" configuration.

Again, no BSD flames please, it's only 1/50$.

Cheers,

Generally, linux on X86, dollar for dollar, offers better performance than
the Mac. Even a relatively cheap single CPU ~2GHz machine with 1 gig ram
will run quite fast.
