Hmm, I don't know if that's worth it. I run Solaris 9 on an SS20 (2x 60MHz SM61, 224MB RAM) and am very satisfied with its performance. I have run Solaris 2.5.1 aswell as 7, 8 and 9 on various SS5 (all 110mhz MicroSparc, ~128mb RAM average), and Solaris 9 seemed to me to be the best performing system on that old hardware (of course it always pays to disable some of the crud that it normally starts at boot, but that holds for all SunOSen).
