Yes, OS X isn't very advanced.

In its heyday, Solaris was outstanding in terms of being responsive while simultaneously doing large amounts of I/O. (Or at least that's my perhaps clouded recollection, I haven't used Solaris in over 5 years).

Well, you'll have to be more specific than 'being responsive' and 'large amounts of I/O' for anyone to make sense out of your statement :)
