Linux is a "dynamic" O/S rather then a "static" O/S like Micky$oft. Linux boxes can adjust themselves to some degree.
Aside from this, Linux accesses hardware directly and not via software calls to the hardware. This initself is a dramatic performance increase. In Linux, the hardware governs itself where in Micky$oft, the O/S governs the hardware.
