Mark,
definitely not starting a OS war here, no flame or kill but :
very recently i was stunned by the comparison of "the same" software on 
different platforms : (test were done on dedicated servers, with base-OS and 
no tuning)
throughput of commercial anti-spam/anti-virus/content-filtering software :
windows : 13 mails/min
linux 25 mails/min
solaris 7 mails/min
(the soft does not run on BSD, for those pulling their guns)
i think it was the number of available concurrent sockets available that made 
the difference - don't kill me on that. Apart for some test-servers, and a 
rare request for help,  i have no experience with solaris, but from what i 
can understand from the sunny-side of the road is that it is rock solid but 
slooooooow.
you might want to take the test and pop-in a linux box with same nagios 
config?
