Reverse name lookups cause a big slowdown; you might want to disable
that feature, and just have IP addresses in your log files.

I am not sure about Solaris; maybe you might try running Apache with
an identical configuration on both.

Are the web pages always local?  One thing that will immediately cause
a HUGE slowdown is serving web pages from an NFS drive.
