We are going to acquire a compute server for our lab which will support
Matlab.

We have some fairly large, but parallizable problems so we are looking at
64-bit systems.  Currently, we are considering a system using 4 Xeon 6-core
processors under Linux or Windows server.  We might also consider Sun

Does anyone have experience that would indicate that Matlab runs better or
with fewer problems on one or the other?

I don't want to start an OS war.  I use both Linux and Windows and suffer
equally with both.
