If you are having 90000 files in a directory, you may have a DNLC (Directory Name Lookup Cache) performance problem. Check it with "vmstat -s" to see your "name lookups (cache hits xx%)". If your system falls below 90%, that means you need to tune your OS by increasing the "ufs_ninode" and "ncsize". These two parameters are configured automatically based on your RAM.
If your file name is longer than 30 characters, solaris may not cache the inode info (I think). The best bet will be to consolidate common parameters in one rrd file, eg ifInOctets, ifOutOctets, ifInErrors, ifOutErrors related to a interface/port in one rrd and try to keep the file name nice and short.
