So I thought about in what parts of Solaris the Slowaris image is still valid.
Especially, where does the system give a bad impression that might be valid,
but is not applicable to Solaris in general. I have come up with the following
points:
- default DVD based install process (slow)
Sure?
Please insert a data DVD (with aprox. 3-4.7 GB of data) and run:
readcd dev=1,0,0 meshpoints=20
Maybe, your DVD drive is not very dast or you have other problems.
With a decent drive and a clean media, you should see speeds starting at
aprox. 9MB/s going to more than 20 MB/s.
The installer needs to read data from the DVD at a sufficient pace to
keep
it spinning close to maximum speed to get that kind of throughput. I am
not sure whether it does that. There are lots of
preinstall/postinstall scripts
that get executed during install and some of these take time which gives
the DVD drive opportunity to spin down. So it has to spin up again when
the next package is read.
