Solaris is slow when writing to ufs filesystem in default configuration.
I guess that postgresql writes out temporary data. The writes can
probably be speed up when writing to tempfs or by disabling the journal.

Writing data can probably speed up with the mount option "nologging".
Reading data can probably speed up with the mount option "noatime".

Can someone try this?
