With all of the benchmark test I have used the same DB structure, same TABLE structure, and finally same iterations.
This probably means that Solaris I/O is really poor, or there is some other explanation (like changing some kernel parameters to get Solaris working well with DB kind of stuff). At the moment I am trying to find out exactly what is the problem. It should not be MySQL itself because the first 2 boxes have different results from the last 2 boxes. This leads me to the conclusion that Solaris is doing something weird with the I/O. Unfortunately, I do not have Solaris 8 to test MySQL in that environment. Note that all the boxes are running the same MySQL version so that could not be the problem (3.23.47).

So we also need to know if adequate iterations have been performed. So the time difference in the first two results aren't that much different at all. The same conclusion is true about the last two, But the slowness of Solaris boxes does impress me. So I believe (i'm not a solaris dude) Ultra is the processor, right? Then we could conclude that pentiums are much more faster then Ultras.
