Hi, Binaries compiled on solaris using sun studio cc currently don't have compiler and memory barriers implemented. That means we fall back to relatively slow generic implementations for those. Especially compiler, read, write barriers will be much slower than necessary (since they all just need to prevent compiler reordering as both sparc and x86 are run in TSO mode under solaris).
Since my estimate is that we'll use more and more barriers, that's going to hurt more and more. I do *not* plan to do anything about it atm, I just thought it might be helpful to have this stated somewhere searchable.
