this IS what IPS has shown as the potential... the implementation is as
usual slow to be manifested, and from the outside we see little(as we
should for a distro) of the release process.. that is the secret sauce
that makes a disto work...

sorry --- i mis-typed that upgrade was from 105 to 106, I have been
trying to justify a base system upgrade to IPS based 107, but still
can't..

Nice review and gives us a perspective on how things are performing on
OpenSolaris at this time.
As you know, there are inconsistencies in the testing. OpenSolaris binaries are
not all built against GCC (or Sun Studio 11/12) and the installed dependency
packages differ greatly in versions. Yo

if a laptop does an auto-shutdown when closing the screen, there is usually
a BIOS menue to swoth
If the laptop doesn't support power suspend/resume yet or the action for
"When laptop lid is closed" in power management preference isn't set to
suspend/shutdown, the laptop should run continuously in this case.

It's true on SPARC (not a whole lot of extra registers, except for a few fps),
not true on Amd64. (Twice the registers, using the registers to call
functions and not the stack)
(Open)Solaris still runs on 32 bit machines; so we need to have 32 bit
binaries for all commands.

Also take into consideration, that 2008.11 still used Xorg server 1.3

rendering might not been have enabled by default.

There are too many variables; e.g., how is the GraphicsMagick compiled
and run?
Also, if they are running the standard Solaris software, OpenSolaris may
hurt because most of the software is 32 bit.

Mine comments is: I know that some differences are result of using
different versions of gcc (gcc 4.x on Linux and 3.x on OpenSolaris).

Of course. In my opinion OpenSolaris makes up in scalability and
stability, what it "looses" in speed in those tests. Also, in everyday
work I can't tell speed difference
