I don't have XP to test on any more, but I do test on Vista from time to time. What I notice is that gretl is a bit "gummy" at start-up (and gnuplot graphs take a while to come up at first), compared to under Linux on the same machine. I assume this is an OS thing ("security" checks?). Windows itself is very slow to start compared to Linux. But once the program has been running for a while the responsiveness seems pretty similar on the two platforms.
