Hi,

I have 2 Sparc e250 boxes running Oracle 8.1.7.4. Both Oracle installations are identical and each box has 1GB RAM and an identical setup.

One box is running Solaris 7 and the other Solaris 9. When running identical queries on box boxes I've noticed that the Solaris 9 box is taking 50% longer that the Solaris 7 box.

Before I start looking at lots of unix performance stats (I'm not that experienced at these things), would the lack of RAM and reduced overheads of Solaris 9 over 7 account for the slower performance?

regards
