I would have to assume the Linux would have been faster then both of 
them. I didn't get the chance to try Linux on it - as it wasn't my 
netbook - and I was actually there to solve other problems. So I just 
took the opportunity to briefly boot into Android to get an idea of how 
it works on a netbook.

I've got Slackware installed on my MSI netbook with an Atom N450 (the 
Acer Aspire One was actually N550) - running on Fluxbox - and it is 
quite snappy. At least as snappy as an Atom can be.
