On top of the JVM implementation potentially being faster, OpenGL drivers on Linux are sometimes better than their Windows counterparts; especially with the less modern OGL that Minecraft uses
I mean, it's the JVM in the end right? It depends on the JVM you're running on between windows and linux
Probably the JVM implementation. I have observed the same effect on my system.
