How does Solaris perform compared to Linux?
Solaris 10 is designed for high performance. The enhanced TCP/IP stack alone delivers a 20 percent to 40 percent performance improvement over the Solaris 9 release for most applications out of the box. Solaris software engineers have focused on performance throughout the development process, resulting in faster execution of typical system functions. Sun has also announced world records (over 170 as of August 2007) on a number of industry-standard benchmarks. More information on these world-record benchmarks can be found on the Solaris 10 Benchmarks page.
