And likewise, your numbers showed that Solaris was able to utilize a better percentage of CPU on SMP systems, so yes, as you ask...why worry? > Sun fellows should be in a better position to post benchmarks - Can anyone > from Sun arrange a benchmark on 1CPU and 8CPU AMD64 systems running S11 and > RHEL4 and post the results here? This message posted from opensolaris.org That's a good question. Sun hasn't been able to freely talk about performance very much previously, but the manager of that group has been fighting to get that changed...which has some recentely, but I can't speak to what or how much. -- Alan DuBoff - Sun Microsystems Solaris x86 Engineering - Sun on Sun is the way of the future! _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
