I was taking a look at the IO subsystem in the kernel sources, looks like someone tried to hack in a minimal garbage collector instead of using the traditional kernel slab allocator. Hence your system free during the GC collection every two minutes. Fucking retards using GC in the kernel! Next, they'll be trying to using dynamically and weakly typed languages in kernel modules, because that's what they were taught was superior by the a GC-biased academia.

C is such an improvement over weakly typed languages (if you don't get it, that's sarcasm)
Everything in Linux sucks. For example, when I close "Nautilus" file manager window, it doesnt terminate program, but puts it in background. Why? To leak more CPU and memory!
The xfce4-menu-plug already ate 140 megabytes of memory, and it's just a toolbar! When I try to `kill -S gnome-screensaver`, it blanks whole screen and only reboot helps. Gedit (a simple notepad) takes whooping 60 megabytes to edit a few lines of text and it loads about 10 seconds! Opening a directory in files browser sometimes takes minutes, due to its file type detection feature (it scans and makes thumbnail of every file). Thousands of thumbnails stored inside ~/.thumbnails slow down image viewer startup by about 20 seconds. Invoking `cat` on a binary file damages terminal output and sometimes crashes bash.

Also, file type detection is extremely glitchy and detects unrelated files as PCX files. It also ignores it's extension. So if it detect JPEG file as PCX, it will open it as PCX and crash viewer, despite that it has JPG extension.

Contrast that with dynamic languages, where you are forced to bear with the lack of compile-time checking.

Sorry to read that, but I can absolutely guarantee you that this is in absolutely NO way the standard way to port a game to Linux, let alone to any platform whatsoever.
Whoever ported it just didn't have any fucking clue what he/she did.
That is why Linux has no games.
That is bullshit. Linux has only very few games because Linux isn't nearly as popular as gaming platform as Windows. That, and only that, is the reason Linux has only few games.
There are plenty of examples of well ported games, like UT2004, Postal2, RTCW, Prey, and just about any game ported by icculus.

No, there is no 'how to port shit to other platforms' standard, because porting differs from software to software. What you probably tried to refer to is the programming part - and that too, differs from software to software.

My understanding - based on answers during the beta - is that backwards

beyond what was available in XP (corrections to interrupt vector table,

They don't.
Infact, Microsoft literally tries to exterminate old software by repeatedly reimplementing basic tools (see DirectX, Windows Vista and Windows 7), that become more and more incompatible with old versions. And trust me, Microsoft does not give a shit about old software.
Windows has, other than Linux, a binary compatibility layer, that essentially never changed since Windows 3, and is what makes it possible to run old Windows programs almost without any changes.
But consider the age of Windows and Linux - compared to Windows, Linux is a really young operating system.
Yes. Apple does what Linux not.
