Agreed...I currently work with Solaris and its generally quite good...
but there seems to be a definite performance problem with Postgresql on
Solaris (see a previous thread with title "Solaris Performance").
I am planning to profile a test case query that I have, so the problem
can be identified...(soon hopefully)
