The iX Magazin did publish so many badly wrong anti Solaris 
targetted benchmarks, I cannot take them for serious anymore.

A few years ago, they did make a NFS server "benchmark" 
with X86 hardware running Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris.

It turned out that they did run the Solaris server configured
for half duplex Ethernet.

I made my own tests and it turned out that Solaris did win 
the test giving more than 20% more performance than the
same HW running Linux.
