No doubt !
um.. looks like Solaris is the issue here - If you can persuade your
server management company to play ball, how about :
1/ Change Platform
Use an Intel box with Linux or Freebsd, you can be assured of _vastly_
better performance with Postgresql in either case. (or...)
2/ Change OS
Run Linux on the Sparc.
Even if your management company will not help you out, the option 1/ is
pretty inexpensive... and you get a _more_ fully open solution (OS as
well)
best of luck
