You might try disabling cpupm (cpu power management) in /etc/power.conf and see if this does what you want. Turbo mode may still be enabled, but at least P and C-state transitions will be turned off.

I'll try. Is it a service? I mean, can I use svcadm to enable/disable it?
Do I need a reboot if I change the setting in the /etc/power.conf file?
Currently I see these settings:

% cat /etc/power.conf
...
autopm                  default
cpupm                   enable
cpu-threshold           1s

So, your suggestion is to change "cpupm" state to "disable", correct?

Correct. Then run the pmconfig command to make the change in the running kernel. You can use the powertop command to monitor what is happening with cpu P and C states before and after to see if that is doing what you expect (powertop should work on linux, too).
