The best way to tune a server/database/application for best performance is to reach acceptable performance requirement without tunning it.
This means that the configuration and setup is correctly done by using the default setting.

Any additional tuning often ends up giving up something else (E.g. performance/administrative/manageability/availability) in return of something else.

If a benefit can be gained with no expense of other stuff, the developer of the software would have gladly put it in the 1st place. (E.g. New features like sizing the buffers for IO/network are targeted for guru end-users to use them and report the bugs so that they can fix/stablize the new feature and set them as the default for best release so that the reminaing end-users dun have to tune it)

Of course there are exceptions there you would gladly trade in item X for item Y. But you have to know what is that item Y you want (E.g. Fast network performance for large data transfer).

There is no golden setting like: fast = yes.
If there is such a setting, all the vendor will put this as the default and the users need not set it.

install-solaris

install-solaris(1M)													       install-solaris(1M)

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.

       Refer to the  for more information on the various menus and selections.

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
