Did you ever finish the benchmark comparisons of Solaris and NetBSD? I never
saw them on the mailing list, and I forgot about this until I posted to
comp.unix.solaris regarding what I'd heard about "register window clearing
making Solaris slow", and a Sun engineer challenged me on it, so I went through
the entire thread, and saw your post again. So did you? I'm quite curious what
the results were...
