Linux Latency higher than VM Windows

[ForeShadow 1]

I'm running Linux Mint with a VM of Windows 7.

Both have Eddie and going through the same physical Ethernet cable over Cable Internet.

The latency on Linux start in the 40s whereas on the VM of Windows 7 running in that Linux start in the low 20s which.
Included is the Linux on left and windows 7 VM on the right.

Linux is a new install with Eddie 2.24.6 whereas the Win7 is running on Eddie 2.18.9.
