Now it's kinda an exaggeration to say that the installer is slow in
comparison. There's many factors such as the SATA/PATA driver, the
scripts that run, the amount of data that is transferred, the state of
the UFS volume, etc. It's pretty much the same speed as the old
installer, dating back from Solaris 8. While I'm not gonna argue this
is a case of Apples vs. Oranges, it is slow, maybe in the case you're
installing a lot less data, but with Anaconda on RHEL/Fedora I can
honestly say it's about the same speed. Typical Linux distros only
select a small subset of packages, while OpenSolaris is the kitchen
sink, Indiana aims to give people who don't need all the functionality
out of the box the option to only install what's necessary for a GUI
and OpenSolaris userland. Indiana installs quite quickly, and uses
Caiman just like SXDE/CE.

I guess what you're observing is just the slowness of the solaris
installer, compared to the installers used on the other platforms...
B78 => caiman installer.
Caiman & slow !?
