Just for the record, the conclusion of the cited report (once you read 
to the postscript 
<http://www.zope.org/Members/glpb/solaris/report_ps#2>) was:

"People really shouldn't be afraid of running python/zope on solaris,
especially in multi-cpu environments, as long as they understand how
python works, because you actually have much better resource control
than pretty well any other O/S out there, but as they say use the right
tool for the job, and make informed decisions ;-)"

Also, the concerns about Solaris were related to poor performance under 
Solaris 8 on a multi-Sparc platform. Anybody got any more recent 
information that might apply to Solaris 10 or to an Opteron platform?
