This is certainly true, and I expect that CF 4.5.1 on Solaris or Linux will
be a very good performer as a result, as opposed to 4.0.1.
However, it should also be noted that the Advanced Security engine still
requires the Bristol WindU registry emulator, so applications using Advanced
Security - including Spectra applications - might run into some issues.
