Nevada Build 65 performace vs. Debian 4.0 performace is abysmal. I don't know whether itr has to do with the desktop (I think so, because core Solaris performance is fine), but Vermillion performance really sucks. Comparing the Vermillion build on 65 with the Gnome version Debian 4.0 uses, there is a trememdous difference in speed. What is "speed"?
- boot up process is 30 seconds with Debian 4.0 / ~ 50 with Nevada - applications feel much "snappier" with Debian 4.0 - nVidia support for Nevada seems to be really poor in Nevada - I cannot get 1680x1050 for NVIDIA Quadro FX 1100 - with Debian and nVidia it's no problem. So one is forced to use the "nv" driver. I think this is important, since Solaris starts with a fully loaded desktop. If it booted into the console, I wouldn't really mind. But people experience Solaris with that desktop and compare it to other operating systems. And - I am afraid to say so - in this reagard Nevada Build 65 is slower than at least Debian 4.0 (I didn't compare it to other operating systems/distributions).
