Looks like Sun is at it again (along with Oracle and Microsoft), trying to manipulate FOSS
people into downloading their controlled versions of Linux. The old men who run these
corporations are the same ones who created DRM, the RIAA, etc. If you've forgotten, Larry
Ellison offered free Oracle databases to any agency willing to implement DNA databases on
American citizens. Instead of SAMP, let's just call it what it is -- MAMP (Microsoft Apache
MySQL Perl). There's no real difference.

Ah Dulles, but there is no Sun controlled version of Linux.

Sun is just offering natively compiled AMP stack for Solaris.

What does this have to do with Larry Ellison, Oracle and DNA 
databases? 

And how does Solaris = Microsoft? 

Sorry shouldn't feed the trolls.

I do find the claims of "more secure" somewhat distasteful faffery of the marketroid variety.
But that's my only complaint.

I'm curious whath they've "optimized", but some poking around on the page without finding any
solid indications of what (if any) work was done on the software has exhausted my time-budget
on the topic.

They've put a JVM in it that optimises the use of memory. That is, every single byte available
gets taken by it ;-)
