It's pretty difficult to say. You've not provided any useful details
about the workload you're running.

If this "register 10 _same_ documents" thing requires running some
query, then you might want to look at EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS) for
that query.  You might want to consider doing SET track_io_timing =
on;  Perhaps Linux is having to read more buffers from disk than
Windows.
