[mythtv-users] mythweb performance: windows vs. linux

i just upgraded to .19 from .18.1 and spent three hours last night trying to
improve the performance of mythweb.  i read every recent post about slowness
and tried the following with no success:
-optimize_mythdb.pl
-move the .htaccess directives to httpd.conf
-add the following to my.conf
    key_buffer = 48M
    max_allowed_packet = 8M
    table_cache = 128
    sort_buffer_size = 48M
    net_buffer_length = 8M
    thread_cache_size = 4
    query_cache_type = 1
    query_cache_size = 4M

the backend performs fine.  performance before and after the upgrade is
similar.  but, i normally use mythweb from my desktop box (winxp) and .19
performance is horrible.  so...i stuck a live linux cd in my windows box.
to my surprise, .19 performance was as it should be.  can a few dual booters
out there do some testing to confirm this problem?  other suggestions to fix
this?

backend: 700 mhz celeron, i810, 256 mb ram, fc3 up to date using atrpms
desktop (windows): a64 3000, nf4, 1000 mb ram, xp pro up to date using
windows update
desktop (live linux): same hardware running slax v5.0.7 using copy2ram, like
knoppix with everything in ram
