With osol0906 we get a write speed of 5-6mb/sec when writing to a iscsi lun on

On the same server using osol0811 the write speed is about 45mb/sec...

Even if we use comstar serving the iscsi target in osol0906 we get the same 
result.

What are we missing? Or is there simply a very serious bug with osol0906.

Any ideas?

I'd guess you are seeing the effects of this fix:

6770534 zvols do not observe character device semantics

Prior to 6770534 zvols were essentially behaving as write-caching devices.  
With the fix for 6770534 now commit writes synchronously which is the correct 
behavior.  Build 115 includes several enhancements (including 6808269 6794362) 
which should support enabling write-caching on an individual COMSTAR lun if you 
want to re-enable this behavior.
