I'll ask our performance groups if they are aware of anything. If this is something you'd like to investigate, you could compare network traces of your Windows and Solaris systems for differences in the SMB exchanges. If that doesn't help, try comparing NFS and SMB exchanges across 2008.05 and 2008.11.
