This could be caused by several things, such as disk contention, disk
fragmentation, disk bad blocks, SCSI problems, etc.
However, whenever I see the term "100 Mbps" (I assume you mean EtherNet)
and slow performance, I instinctively start checking for duplex problems,
and 99% of the time this turns out to be the problem. Solaris, in
particular, is notorious for not auto-negotiating it properly for their
hme interface, resulting in a speed drop of several orders of magnitude.
