Benchmarks From Phoronix: "Have you ever wondered on what operating system Java works the best? While by no means is it a conclusive multi-platform comparison, for this article we ran a number of Java benchmarks on both Windows Vista Premium and Ubuntu Linux to see how the Java Virtual Machine performance differs. In addition, when running Ubuntu we had tested Sun's official Java package as well as the OpenJDK alternative."

I should hope not. Solaris (and Sun OS) predate Java by a wide margin. As with operating system, Solaris will have been designed to work under a large variety of workloads. To tune your whole OS just so another tool released by your company gets a performance edge seems silly to me.
