How about the fact that both are running vanilla installations of Solaris, and only one has the performance issue. A performance issue that doesn't appear with Linux, *BSD or any other operating system ran on that computer. May I suggest you read the opensolaris website: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/performance/ "If another major system is faster than OpenSolaris, it is a bug." If numerous other operating systems run on the same hardware without performance problems - then according to that website, "it is a bug" that Solaris is performing worse.
