In the recent past, Jignesh Shaw of Sun MDE discovered that changing the
bgwriter_* parameters to zero had a dramatic positive impact on performance.
There are also some critical UFS kernel tuning parameters to set, you should
find those in his blog.
We found and fixed some libpq issues with Solaris that were also critical -
they should be in 8.1.3 I think.
