Ok, let's start from the beginning.

Have you come here with a specific problem that requires a solution

or do you just want to talk about it?

>> I'm not sure why you are trying to characterize performance overhead as "issues". Every process running on a server has some resource requirements. I am. Performance engineer and my focus is in getting the most out of every infrastructure server. Hence my question about overhead. In this case we are planning to implement on RHEL  and Solaris servers. If you don't have any useful info, then please don't waste my time.

Of course we'll do our own testing but the earlier we know, the better. We also know some features will cost more in terms of overhead than others, so I'm looking for real experiences around which features are more expensive, etc..
