OpenSolaris 2009.06 Performance

The Java-powered Sunflow Rendering System had more favorable results with OpenSolaris 2009.06 and its Java stack.

There was not much change with the Java-powered Bork File Encrypter performance.

For the most part there are not many performance changes to be spotted in the 26 tests we ran using the Phoronix Test Suite. In some tests like GraphicsMagick, the newer GCC 4.3.2 compiler that is available via the Image Packaging System was a big help, while in other tests the newer GCC 4.x compiler actually led to a performance regression. Besides that there is not too much to illustrate with today's tests. Shortly we will have a new round of Ubuntu Linux vs. OpenSolaris testing.
