So I ran the same compiling tests on one of our T2000′s with 4 cores and 8gb of ram. Pretty darn impressive results:

Sun Fire E25K Sun Fire T2000
24 Cores / 96GB Ram 4 cores+4Threads / 8GB Ram
Test Compile Real Time User Time Sys Time Real Time User Time Sys Time
PHP with 48 Threads 0m16.00s 2m14.58s 0m12.58s 2m:29.9s 12m12.3s 3m08.17s
PHP with 1 thread 2m26.58s 2m10.26s 0m7.02s 9m06.5s 7m0.2s 1m22.7s
Apache+PHP 48 threads 0m4.02s 0m10.47s 0m1.94s 0m11.3s 0m47.7s 0m6.2
Apache+PHP 1 thread 0m14.33s 0m10.33s 0m1.08s 0m39.5s 0m30.5 0m4.2s

Needless to say when you can get nearly the same performance out of a little 2U machine that cost around $8,000 compared to a domain that costs nearly $400,000 (all list prices). I would have to say that those are some pretty kick butt servers. I just wish I could have my own to play with and own. But unfortunately I don’t have $8,000+ to spend on a server..
