I can confirm this. This new performance and memory management was added
to Intel/Linux, but not Solaris.
Some additional info:
> During development and beta testing of ColdFusion 5.0 we built Solaris
> with the following memory managers:
>
> 1. SmartHeap for SMP v6.01 with memory footprint reduction
> 2. Geodesic REMIDI v5.0 with memory footprint reduction
> 3. Geodesic MTS v4.0 (no memory footprint reduction)
>
> #3 is what we have used for Solaris starting with 4.5.1 SP1
> #3 was the fastest of
> the three tested with ColdFusion 5.0.
> #2 gave us some unexplained errors. We decided it was too new and
> untested to use in ColdFusion 5
>
> Our decision was to use #3, Geodesic MTS v4.0, because of speed,
> reliability, and minimum impact to the cost of ColdFusion 5 for
> Solaris.

Scroll down to "Enhanced Performance and Memory Management", and it's
labeled "Automatic Memory Footprint Reduction". I was amused by this
(reversion to previous behavior) labeled as a feature, but hey, that's
the world of sales, isn't it.
