Well, funny that you mentioned it. I'm using FF7 on build 129 of Open
Solaris and just performs as one would expect (Ultra-27, nvdia FX card,
office machine).
While at home (Ultra-20 also with Nvidia FX) I'm using Solaris 10 with
FF7 and it slows down from performing proper to the speed of a snail
during a weeks usage.
I have not restarted FF7 on the office machine since I had it installed some
weeks ago.
