with this "article" is define "slow". Since the author chose not

or even empirical measurements, what is slow? And it is slow
compared to what exactly? We don’t even know what kind or size
of hard drive or network card is used in the system; all we know
is the system in question has a 2 GHz Pentium IV CPU, 2 GB of
memory and an nVidia 6200 video card.  So we have an older
system with an almost five year old value priced AGP video card,
2 GB of memory and an unknown amount of hard disk space and
network card and we are supposed to take the author’s word for
it that OpenSolaris and all applications run slowly on it? Just
because someone says it is slow does not mean it is. If someone
is going to complain about performance, they should back it up
with some meaningful data and just complain, because all I have
read is complaints w
