You probably need to ask a java list and profile it below the java level
to get answers here. It's possible there are small performance
differences between Linux and Windows at 115,200 but I'd not expect any
except maybe in latency and then only small ones.

The number of java experts on the kernel list is quite small I'm afraid.
