I use an Ultra 10 at home with 640 MB of RAM and a 120 GB disk using a Creator graphics card. As long as I don't use Gnome or JDS performance is fine. When you installed Solaris, did you perform a Full Distribution installation? If so there are a few things you can shut off that will free some m

Hi, I can believe that solaris 10 might be slow for some processes doing forks. Who is "everybody", and how are you measuring time? Also, are you using the GA of Solaris 10, or a Nevada build? max On Mon, 2006-01-23 at 04:32, Roman wrote: > I'm not running any benchmarks, I just observe that Sol

I'm not running any benchmarks, I just observe that Solaris feels slower than NetBSD on the same hardware. Everybody keeps saying that fork() on Solaris is very slow and I can definitely see that when compiling applications from pkgsrc. Is there no way to speed it up? This message posted from op
