I can tell you from experience that performance on Solaris is nowhere
close to what you'd expect, given the coin you're forking over for
it. I think the reason to use Solaris is its support for all the
nifty hot-swappable hardware, and not for its speed or any putative
benefit you might get from having 64 bits at your disposal.
