On the readme the developer states that cgminer is guaranteed to be more stable on a linux based OS, not that it will run better. Performance should be similar across both platforms.

Well, I may not have known what I was talking about with the blockerupter compile switch, which I said at the time.

But I know for a fact that my two R606 Miners run MUCH better on Ubuntu Linux and on the Pi 4 with their raspian distro. I messed around with Win7 on two different machines, one of which also has the Ubuntu install, I have verified that I could not, in no way, have gotten 1Ths out of either R606 on Win7. But on the Pi 4 and my Ubuntu machine its no problem at all.

I had mined a long time with the ASIC Miner Block Erupters, and my BFL Jalapeno, and would have constant problems with the 78 Block Erupters. Now I'm wondering if it was the Win7 USB bottleneck? I'm thinking it was.

So, if your thinking your going to get the same USB performance out of Windoze as with Linux, Your Wrong! And I mean that as kindly as can be. Just go back to May of last year when we first got our R606's and witness our issues with Win7 and Win10. Poor VH finally discontinued support for Windoze after working his but off trying helping us. -ck, aka "the developer", had dropped support for Windoze quite a while before that.
