But it *is* available from Sun already, even if not from opensolaris.org, so
it's already out there.

I'm afraid The current license prohibits benchmark publication:

5.(f) You may not publish or provide the results of any
benchmark or comparison tests run on Software to any third party
without the prior written consent of Sun.

Which is sad, because it *is* fast. So we love it, but are not allowed to say
why :-)

But if that bit (and maybe a few other, I didn't check carefully) of legalese
can be removed, the better.
