I have not tried installing Solaris on my macbook, but I had the same problem 
with Centos5 until I updated the kernel. CPU usage went from 100% to around 
20%. Ubuntu 8 is around 20% and Windows XP is around 12% without any 
modifications to either one.
There were some linux kernel options that some people have said have helped 
with reducing cpu load: CPUFREQ=no nohz=off. Maybe there are some equivalent 
ones for solaris.
