I think it was an SGI machine, but maybe it was AIX. if the speed is due to improved xdr layer, which I strongly suspect (the old sun xdr implementation used a subroutine call for every array element!) you will get the speedup wherever the 3.3 replaces an inefficient implementation. The only way to be sure is to time your particular case.
