   Too slow and fat for that hardware.  At least when compared with a 
BSD variant.

   I'm sure it's wonderful.  It's just that it'd be twice as fast 
running a BSD.

   Don't get me wrong, I'm a BIG Solaris fan now (and anyone who's known 
me for a few years knows what a big deal it is for me to say 
that!)...but on 4c and 4m hardware, a BSD can't be beat.
