Why is the GUI response of Windows snappier than those of RedHat 8.2/Mandrake Linux 9.1?

I have observed this when using Mozilla (vs IE), KDE start menu (vs Explorer) and in most other GUI Windows in general.  Can linux GUI response be faster compared to Windows?

I don't know if this is due to X or the kernel, or KDE.  I don't have any idea about Linux/Unix system programming but will try Intel C++ compiler on my kernel just to see if it will make the system snappier.  I like Linux and don't have any problem with its tools/software/system compared to Windows except for the speed.  That's all.  thanks
