Compared to a SPARCstation of the SS2, IPX, etc era?
Yep. At least in a very non-scientific comparison. A
SPARCstation-IPX running NetBSD feels a lot more responsive than a
Raspberry Pi running Linux. I've run both, but not side-by-side.
Software "weight" probably has a lot to do with it.
Agreed. GNU/Linux likes to be a bit...big.
Part of the problem I'm looking at is that you can
get something
like a Raspberry Pi that will cost a fraction of what a Sun system
costs to run.
The Raspberry Pi, while awesome for many reasons, is a fairly wimpy
machine when you come right down to it, CPU-wise. -Dave
