In my experience, Java has always run subjectively faster for me on Solaris than it has on Linux or Microsoft Windows (which makes sense because Solaris and Java are both made by the same company). I have a bunch of Java based desktop apps for KVM over IP viewers and things like that that I've run on both Linux and Solaris and the Linux versions always seemed a little bit faster.
What I suspect might be causing the problem is that you might have a newer version of one of the build tools (like Apache Ant) on the Linux machine and an older version on the Solaris machine. Also, ZFS takes a big performance hit if it shares the same disk with another operating system so that might be a factor as well. Also, are you running 2009.06 in 32 bit mode or 64 bit mode, as that will also affect ZFS performance. Run this command at the command line: isainfo -kv and post the results in this thread. Also please run this command: pfexec scanpci and post the results in this thread so we can see what kind of controller chipsets we are dealing with. Also check the contents of the "/var/adm/messages" log files and see if there are any error messages that say something like: unix: [ID 954099 kern.info] NOTICE: IRQ18 is being shared by drivers with different interrupt levels. This may result in reduced system performance. Also, are you using the same hardware and same speed of disk drives in both the Linux machine and the OpenSolaris machine? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
