Ok, lets try on several different ones.

1. XXX, snv_82, 4x 4-core Intel 2.13GHz, 16GB RAM

   I'm getting about 2k xcalls per second from mpstat.
   Dtrace nunbers are matching mpstat numbers.

2. Sun X4150, S10U4 127112-10, 2x 4-core Intel 2.66GHz, 32GB RAM

   I'm getting about 330k-550k xcalls/s from mpstat.
   DTrace numbers are matching mpstat numbers.

3. Sun T5220, S10U4 127111-10, 1x 8-core 1.2GHz, 32GB RAM

   I'm getting about 1.7mln xcalls/s from mpstat.
   Dtrace numbers are about 27k.

   I'm also getting such numbers on another T5220 with 120011-14.


So maybe it is only on Niagara-2 platform?

Yes, I think you are right.
On all above platforms dtrace has that impact.
