When you think that this is the reality in the web, then yes.

But, if you think of the following scenario:

1 file accessed:
windows very fast
linux normal speed

1 file accessed by 10 peoples at the same time:
windows very fast
linux normal speed

1 file accessed by 100 peoples at the same time:
windows fast
linux normal speed

100 files accessed by 1000 peoples at the same time:
windows, stalled
linux, umm, normal speed

A windows web server is nothing but a bad emulation of a Unix system.
