I've heard some rumblings (I haven't investigated this myself, so consider it hearsay), that the booting time is still longer on Solaris than Linux. If I had to guess, it might be tied to either overly restrictive dependencies, or simply too many for the current implementation to handle quickly (assuming it's actually an SMF issue). ISTR there were a few services that seemed to be unusually sluggish to start in a few builds, which could also be an impact.
There was some work done before in this area, if it's a big concern, I'm sure some of the tools used for that could be used again to see what's going on. It's never been an issue with me, so I've never looked into it a whole lot.
