Jack,

Absolutely fascinating test.

What are the file systems and disk arrays for each OS?

Great thing you're doing!

I'm no longer baffled, I'm mortified.

When I commented out the EXIT statements in my scripts, I discovered I was getting
ORA-01555 (Rollback Segment too small). I'd thought my scripts were executing, then
exiting normally - hence my dismay to see V$SQLAREA.Executions too low. Well, it
wasn't - it was my dumb oversight.

After increasing the size of my RB Segs, I'm proceeding with comparitive stress
testing of Ora8.1.6 on Win2000 and Solaris 8 Intel. BTW, so far Solaris 8 lets
Ora8.1.6 perform significantly better than Win2k on the same CPU-bound PC. I'll post
the results of my tests when completed.
