Re: Performance Solaris vs Linux

Hi Frederick,

There is an article about tunning the performance of PostgreSQL on
Solaris at
http://tweakers.net/reviews/649/9

which is not quite exactly of what you wanted but it might help you.

I think that Solaris has disk cache turned off by default which linux
does not have
due to possible data loss in case of a power failure.

Regards,

Julo
