Well, if your workload is CPU-bound, the issue here is not really Solaris vs. Linux but rather CPU power. You should try to run a generic (non-Python) CPU benchmark (*) on both systems, perhaps this 6-8 factor is expected. If only Python shows such a performance difference, on the other hand, perhaps you can give us more precisions on those systems. Regards Antoine.
