For example in Bangalore I personally know no one outside the SUN India office who have successfully updated packages on their OpenSolaris installations let alone do an image-update in a sane amount of time. In comparison things like YUM or Apt-Get are reasonable even over 512Kbps.Having said that I am not going to make vague statements. I will do my own testing over a 2Mbps broadband link and post measurements.The version of pkg(5) that will be part of b144 should deliver somewhere around a 20% or greater performance improvement in transport performance when used with a properly configured web and/or depot server.
