Solaris 11 outperforms RHEL 6 on 2 socket Intel servers [30731]
Compare SPECjbb on servers with same Intel chips
Along time Sun employee writes, "I've often heard the term "Slow-laris" applied to Oracle's premier Unix operating system. Most frequently this was in comparison to the Linux OS running on small two socket servers. I will admit that in the Solaris 8 and 9 timeframe engineering decisions were made to benefit scalability to 64 sockets that sometimes penalized smaller servers. In addition, because of Solaris long history and derivation from ATT and BSD Unix code, there was undoubtedly a bit of code labeled, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
With the advent of Solaris 10 and Dynamic Tracing, (DTrace) we actually hunted down and killed a number of those legacy code segments using a new philosophy labeled internally, "If Solaris is slower than Linux on the same hardware, it's a bug."
As a result, Solaris 11 provides higher performance than Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 on basically identical 2 socket hardware as measured by the SPECjbb benchmark..."

Oracle Produces World Record SPECjbb2013 Result with Oracle Solaris and Oracle JDK [30073]
Solaris Registers Accelerated Performance on both Composite max-jOPS and Composite critical-jOPS metrics
Oracle Solaris and Oracle JDK delivered a world record result on the SPECjbb2013 benchmark (Composite metric), a benchmark designed to showcase Java server performance, Brian posts. SPECjbb2013 is the replacement for SPECjbb2005. The major findings of this benchmark are:
- Oracle Solaris is 1.8x faster on the SPECjbb2013-Composite max-jOPS metric than the Red Hat Enterprise Linux result.
- Oracle Solaris is 2.2x faster on the SPECjbb2013-Composite critical-jOPS metric than the Red Hat Enterprise Linux result.
- The combination of Oracle Solaris 11.1 and Oracle JDK 7 update 15 delivered a result of 37,007 SPECjbb2013-Composite max-jOPS and 13,812 SPECjbb2013-Composite critical-jOPS on the SPECjbb2013 benchmark.
