This looks like the author is comparing Apples to Oranges (no that’s too similar, how about Apples to Aliens). The performance they speak of comes form the result set being displayed in a browser (as a table)
instead of waiting for hours for Brio or Toad to return results in a
browser (with a crash if the number of rows being returned was above
50,000)
As compared to the result set being displayed in a text file (who is to say that a text editor won’t crash as well?)
then export to the Unix station) and produced as output the results of
the query (tab-separated text file)

solved what is the reason that unix is faster than oracle? [closed]
