Hi all, I am trying to squeeze every inch of performance out of my system - an open source EMR for physician practices which uses PostgreSQL, JBoss, Hibernate, RMI, and a rich Swing client on the front end.
My question is whether there are *performance gains* to be had running the backend on Solaris instead of say Linux or (cough) Windows. Perhaps the filesystem would be faster? Perhaps context switching, thread management or something else? The other related question is if I purchased hardware like this: http://www.sun.com/servers/coolthreads/se_t1000/ will that be faster than spending the equivalent on a dell intel server? Or is Solaris moving to be supported on intel because of the price/performance? I really love Solaris and Sun products but it only makes sense to invest time if I can gain performance on entry level hardware - physicians may be saving on the clinical system software but still need well priced hardware. thanks!
