From the Publisher

This comprehensive exploration of Sun performance and tuning contains the kind of hard recommendations and opinions that are often needed, but which are not normally found in the formal documentation. This tutorial and reference focuses exclusively on SPARC hardware and Unix and discusses and compares all of Sun's operating system releases, from SunOS 4.1 through to Solaris 2.4. It features up-to-date Sun-specific information (e.g., using optimizing compilers), and other aspects of performance tuning (e.g., virtual memory paging algorithms).
