Summary:

Java sucks on Solaris.
Solaris 8+ sucks more compared to 7.

I have been installing 7 (instead of 8 or 9) by default
now since there do seem to be some performance/resource
problems with the later releases.  Interestingly,
Solaris 9 seemed very fast initially, but that may
have been an illusion related to display or X optimizations.

I have been having some serious performance problems
with java on Solaris 9 compared to 8 (like 8x slower
compilation on identical hardware).
