What basic tests? Big integer arithmetic -- which relies on MPIR -- is often an order of magnitude slower, because of lack of good assembly optimization for Sparc. It probably *could* be much faster, if somebody were to invest in supporting a developer to write code to make it fast.

Michael Abshoff ported Sage to 32-bit Solaris in May 2009 as the first step to a general port. He quit before even starting the 64-bit port.
