We've been running equivalent configurations and schema on
HP-UX, Solaris, and x86 Linux, and benchmarking with
pgbench and some application-specific data. All testing
was with 7.2rc2, and all were built natively on each platform.
Performance on Solaris (2.6 and 2.7) seems lackluster, even when
postgres processes are not CPU, memory, or IO bound, and whether
over local Unix or tcpip sockets.
Are there any other Solaris-specific optimizations or configuration
items that we should consider?
