[Mono-list] Extremely poor performance of ODFConverter/Mono on Linux vs Windows .Net

[RomanP]

Hi All,

I checked the performance of ODFConverter application for DOCX -> ODT
conversion (http://sourceforge.net/projects/odf-converter) for Windows and
Linux and was unpleasantly surprised by significantly worse performance on
Linux platform.

I tested both platforms in VMware player on the same computer to have the
same hardware. 

Linux version was taken from
http://katana.oooninja.com/w/odf-converter-integrator/download
Windows version was taken from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/odf-converter/files/ODF%20Add-in%20for%20Office/

Test files "ODF_text_reference_v3.odt" and "Handboek_OOo2Writer_NL.odt" 
were taken from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/odf-converter/files/Sample%20Files%20for%20Open%20XML/Release%203.0/DIaLOGIKa-Testsuite-DOCX-3.0.zip/download

Results are following:
                                           | Windows | Linux
ODF_text_reference_v3.odt      | 4,5         | 10,0
Handboek_OOo2Writer_NL.odt   |  9,0        | 49,0

The results from second file is more representable for my case because
conversion time for my typical document is also about 40 sec. 
So ODFConverter on Linux runs 5 times slower than on Windows!!!

Can the performance on Linux be improved? What is the explanation for this
fact?

Regards,
Roman
