Correct.

While I had my new machine apart last night checking for loose connections, 
etc, I remembered that I purchased the low-wattage "Green" drives from Western 
Digital. These drives produce about 1/3 of the wattage of regular drives at the 
expense of some speed (about 25% on some benchmarks I have seen on the web). So 
that explains why I would be so far behind your laptop drive.

But it doesn't explain why it is dramatically last place still compared to the 
other OS's on same hardware. 

I also keep getting wildly sporadic results with blogbench on Opensolaris 
compared to Linux/Freebsd. Like I mentioned, my first run produced a 14k read 
result after fresh install. Then I disabled prefetch and got the 499 reads. 
Reboot got it to 2k reads. Enable prefetch then results same as disabled. 
Disable again and I actually got a read result to 131k!! But a run immedietely 
after produced again around 3k reads. On Sidux for example, every attempt I ran 
was well within each other consistently. Opensolaris just isn't liking this 
hardware combo I suppose, despite being "supported".

I'd file bug report but as a newb I am not sure how. I'll poke around.

Thanks
