daww, i wanted you do do benchmarks :<(

oh well, im just ganna put it out here that i guess that the linux versions will be almost (but not completely) up to speed as the windows version, this is because of the translation and the fact that directx9 beats slightly its opengl counterpart, unless valve specifically upgraded parts to higher versions of opengl


welp, guess ill just have to hope for a beta soon. i think its about a 1/60 chance currently, and thats leaving a LOT of us in the dark.
