With CF5, you should expect the performance scale to be: Solaris, Linux, Windows (fastest being first)
With CFMX, it changes to: Linux, Solaris, Windows This is quoted from the CFMX Performance Brief found at http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/whitepapers/ With the performance you're quoting, I would suspect poor coding of the app to cause the problems on your Solaris box. Look first for shared variables not being locked, this can severely decrease performance on UNIX machines. If that is not the case, you need to start looking at performance of external calls and/or the network. Calls external to CF might be queries, COM, CFX, any component you bought instead of built, etc... Set timers, gettickcount(), around suspect code to find out where the slow parts are. That should get you started.
