To answer this question I think we would need to know which "UNIX" he is using.
AIX, HPUX, Solaris, SunOS, ...

I can give me 2 cents about AIX:
The AIX kernel does not need to be tuned.  This reduces the burden on
the sysadmin when installing some commercial packaged sw that makes
extensive use of shared memory and semaphores.
