Subject: Suggestions for tuning Solaris for netatalk ?

Well the performance has not been exactly startling:
193Ks-1 Mac -> Sun
253Ks-1 Sun -> Mac
So I turned on the gcc optimisation...
204Ks-1 Mac -> Sun
271Ks-1 Sun -> Mac
Better, but no prizes, so then I changed the processor ! Benchmarking the
new cpu with gcc, etc, etc gave me the result that in general the machine
was 40% faster. Imagine my surprise when I retested netatalk:
147Ks-1 Mac -> Sun
210Ks-1 Sun -> Mac
So, is there some kernel tuning parameter that will fix this? Faster cpus
shouldn't worsen performance, or should I dig up a Sparc 1 or something :-)
--- Outline test bench:Mac 7100/80 - 10BaseT File - 1 - 8MB Sun idle = 99%, no other obvious contentions
