I doubt that one can reliably infer the Linux/Windows speed. I think only experiment can tell. A dual boot machine would be essential in this.

Actually, non-realtime rendering should be slightly faster on Windows,
particularly if a dynamic Csound library is used, assuming that the code
is compiled with the same compiler and optimization settings. This is
because shared libraries on Linux are compiled with the -fPIC option
which makes the code less efficient.
