Not at this time.  I'm not sure if we have any in-house... We are largely 
migrating to x86 (Intel and AMD) at this time, and removing Sparc systems 
as fast as possible.  Note that this does not mean we are dropping Sun.

I should be getting some Sun AMD servers delivered in the near future.  If 
they are shipped with Solaris 10 x86, I will do a comparison benchmark on 
one of them with identical openldap configurations.
