Thanks for the explanation.

>From my experience with running some other web servers that
were originally developed for Linux then ported to Windows, speed
isn't the main concern, stability is. This is probably because most
people use (and test) the Linux version while not many are actually
using the Windows version so the Windows port tend to have
more bugs. One web server I tried freezes after running for a month
or two, and another has some a memory leak problem in a particular
scenario. In both cases the version number of the Windows port
is lower than the Linux version. Hence why my concern here is mainly
stability and readiness for production servers.
