Mark you said Solaris 2x450 E220R is generally much faster than any intel.
Well we are running a jboss 2.4.3/PostgreSQL7.1.2 on a
a) Linux 2.4.7 on a pentium iii 1GHz, 256 KB cache, 1Gb main mem with cheap
ide disks for development and on a
b) Solaris 8 Generic_108528-12 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-80, 2x450 MHz,
4Mb cache, 4Gb main mem, with EMC raid arrays
In every test, (awk, gwak, gcc compiled programs, dd tests on both local
scsi/ide, long postgres queries, java ejbs, java servlets) solaris performs
slower at least 2 times than linux.
Can you point me with an app that Solaris performs better??
Thanks for any clue, cause we are about to drop solaris and its cost
for good.
