I think "ameliorated" rather than "solved". There remain question marks
over Solaris performance (and database adapters - though I'm not sure
if this is Solaris specific).

The further recommendations include:

* Audit the state of Solaris system patches on the various machines
used in the study and, if warranted, apply the latest patches that
may impact on threading performance. Re-run the tests to assess
whether performance has been effected.

* Experiment with building Python using Sun's C compiler.

* Explore the performance of adapters for other databases.

We were rather hoping that the Solaris-using subset of the
Zope community might get stuck into the last two.
