How to make Nginx run faster on Windows?

Question

Nginx

I work with OpenServer using Nginx 1.7
I observe the following situation:
My local PC:
8 cores 3.2, 8GB RAM, wine 2012 server
Default Nginx config (+- hosts setting)
Hoster:
Physical server, 2 cores 2.2, 1GB RAM, Debian
Default Nginx config (+- hosts setup)
Why does hoster's Nginx work 5 times faster than my local one? I understand that Linux is cool, that there is a fast file system, but still somehow it's a shame. Is it possible to overclock this thing on Windows?
What configurations should be in order for nginx to work faster, maybe I missed something?
And taking this opportunity, please tell me how to get rid of 504 Gateway Time-out on nginx. All the advice that I found on various sites did not solve my problems.

Currently, only select() is used as the connection handling method, so don't expect high performance and scalability. Because of this and a number of other known issues, the Windows version of nginx is currently considered a beta version.
