"Luftwaffe Fighter Aces" Mike Spick:

109E-3 max speed 354 mph, service ceiling 36,091 ft, rate of climb 3,282 ft/min.

Hurricane 1 max speed 316 mph, service ceiling 33,2001 ft, rate of climb 2,300 ft/min.

The 109 was known to be superlative at higher altitude, a captured example wasn't tested all the way up due to lack of compatible oxygen equipment so this wasn't known early in the war.

The Hurricane turned tighter I believe.

which servers do you play usually

Spitvs109 (mod)
QueenslandII
Kampfverband 13
Skies of Valor

sometimes:

Warclouds
Skies of Fire
RCAFFB: I got banned there, dont know why - well, I think s.o. accused me of kill stealing, which is not true btw.

, a captured example wasn't tested all the way up due to lack of compatible oxygen equipment

I find this hard to believe...

The comparison posted by swiss works only if you compare Bf 109E-4/B against Hurricane Mk II. However, Hurricane Mk I (ingame version which is worse than in BoB) will not catch the normal fighter E-4 by running or climbing in ANY altitude. Anyway, at sea level even the slowest Bf 109 is ~45 km/h faster than the fastest Hurricane.

"The Narrow Margin" Wood and Dempster, page 148:

In the trials and handling of the Me 109 one vital aspect of performance testing was omitted, general handling and speed above 20,000 feet. ... In addition oxygen was not available for the 109 on test which limited the ceiling at which the pilot could operate.

Still sounds weird. Why not just install a British system?
Were they scared of Kraut technology?

yes i have the same problem with RCAFFB. got banned there several times after some minutes of playing without reason.
and on the kampfverband13 server i tried many times to connect, but there occured the problem that said that the connection to the remote host is lost. i dont know exactly what that means, but i think its because of my bad internet connection.but hope to fly with you some time swiss.
