The boxes running the MySQL were isolated from other users so there was no
activity on them while I was performing the benchmark tests.
There was no tuning - I just installed the MySQL from their binary
packages, that is I was using the default config files (hoping that they are
the same - I will check that now).
One of the tests was done locally on the Solaris box (Ultra 5) giving
almost the same result - around 1 min 25 secs. Just a small improvement over
the TCP/IP connection.
I suppose that the next step is to get the config file to something that
will give me better performance on the Solaris box, but as I said there was
nothing changed in the configuration of the MySQL. I just used the default
configuration setup.

Interesting statistics!
What else were the m/user, m/tasking OpSys doing at the time? How much
'tuning' of the configs/dbs had taken place in each case? Can you compare
the results without the 'I/O', by using native-MySQL on each server,
locally?
