Why are you measuring under Windows to see what will happen on Unix?
If you've only got one machine to play with, why not boot off a LiveCD (like Knoppix) and measure your code (or a key subset) under Linux?
Might not be the same OS your ISP is using, but closer to Unix than Windows?
Might make absolutely no difference, but at least you might be a bit closer to comparing apples to apples rather than apples (Unix) to oranges (Windows) ...

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
