The first thing I'd be looking at is how I the JDBC batch size compares
between the two machines.....

AFAIK, Solr shouldn't notice the difference, and since a large majority
of the development is done on Linux-based systems, I'd be surprised if
this was worse than Windows, which would lead me to the one thing that
is definitely different between the two: Your JDBC driver and its settings.
At least that's where I'd look first.

If nothing immediate pops up, I'd probably write a small driver program to
just access the database from the two machines and process your 10M
records _without_ sending them to Solr and see what the comparison is.

You can also forgo DIH and do a simple import program via SolrJ. The
advantage here is that the comparison I'm talking about above is
really simple, just comment out the call that sends data to Solr. Here's an
example...
