Will a python program be slower on the same machine running windows
compared to linux?

What I don't understand is that it is not possible to distribute a
python compiled with gcc for windows. The main reason I saw in this
thread is that python uses mfc. So python requires api access, I
guess. 

Once I asked about distutils here. The answer was that I had access to
the source so I could just extend it. After messing around I found I
couldn't because I don't have msvc.
