What's the typical load? Do you have all current Solaris
patches applied?

If the average load is significant and you don't have a
current Solaris kernel, you might run into a condition that
I've seen years ago that you run into an O(n^3) in the
kernel with fcntl locks. I thought Tridge (Jeremy?) had
fixed this with a new handling of CLEAR_IF_FIRST for tdb's
but the might be others lurking.
