"The London Stock Exchange has said its new Linux-based system is
delivering world record networking speed, with 126 microsecond
trading times.

The news comes ahead a major Linux-based switchover in twelve days,
during which the open source system will replace Microsoft .Net
technology on the group’s main stock exchange. The LSE had long been
criticised on speed and reliability, grappling with trading speeds
of several hundred microseconds.

[...]
The 126 microsecond speed is “twice as fast” as its main
international competitors, the London Stock Exchange said. BATS
Europe and Chi-X, two dedicated electronic rivals to the LSE, are
reported to have an average latency of 250 and 175 microseconds
respectively. Netiher company immediately provided details. But many
of the LSE’s older and more traditional rivals offer speeds of
around 300 to 400 microseconds. Nevertheless, Linux is now standard
in many exchanges."
