We called it slowaris for fun when we observed the faster disk i/o on
various linux versions, including rh. I understand that solaris 10
fixed alot of these disk i/o issues, but we have not gone there to find

CPU count may be an issue for you, I don't think linux handles more
than 4 currently, however they are faster and cheaper:

While I did not run specint, we observed similar results with our apps.
