I think it is highly likely that libuv will work on Solaris (although I haven't tried it myself). My reason for thinking this is that libuv is an outcome of the Node.js project. The major sponsor for this project was (is?) Joyent whose business was based around a Solaris derivative (Illumos I think). This in turn is because the principals of Joyent were kernel engineers at Sun (responsible amongst other things for DTrace). Put another way - anywhere Node.js runs you;d expect libuv to run as Node.js depends on libuv. > Alan Conway stated in another discussion that libuv should fix the > slowness we detected in the event injection API.

So you should get that speed up (eventually).
