But this may just sound like sour grapes. The sad reality is that Linux is often better at running bad code well, whereas Solaris doesn't suffer fools gladly.
Solaris's fork/exec is much slower than Linux or NetBSD/FreeBSD. BASH is also what I like to call "The world's slowest shell".
The OpenSolaris ksh93 integration project (http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/) should eliminate much slowness since many more commands are built-ins to avoid the slow fork/exec.
