Try it with mrxvt --skipPages 1000 (or even 10000). I think this is what
gnome terminal uses.
$ wc /var/log/messages
74710 923641 6168908 /var/log/messages
$ time cat /var/log/messages # mrxvt with --skipPages 25

xterm took over two minutes, and I got bored waiting.

PS: Like I said, make sure you use 0.5.4, with debugging disabled. Just
FYI, my machine is probably slower than yours. I use an Intel U7600
1.2gHz dual core CPU.
If not, perhaps some IO call is blocked on Solaris, and not on
Linux. This will be hard to track down since I don't have access to
a Solaris.
