There is another point besides having dangerous defaults on Linux:
People don't know what they benchmark. This is caused by the fact that
people usually meter the time for a "tar xf bla" call, while a lot of the
data is only inside the RAM when tar is finished and you would need to wait
until the data is on disk.
Solaris starts earlier with copying the RAM cache to disk than Linux does and
Solaris usually gives you bettter I/O bandwidth than Linux.
