That's interesting information...

I didn't notice previously that you're still using build 75a as your
dom0. Some /very/ significant fixes went into later OpenSolaris releases
and I strongly recommend you upgrade, if you can.

This won't necessarily help your problem with a slow SMP HVM domU, of
course.

We haven't found time to root cause the "SMP HVM Solaris is slow" issue
yet, but suspect it's got a lot to do with
usr/src/uts/i86pc/os/timestamp.c :)

Well, if you're using nevada, you can use a PV domU, which doesn't have
this problem.
