Anthony,
I don't think changing authentication to 'security = Domain' would help a
performance problem. I'd make sure that you're not running into memory,
disk or network congestion problems. I forget the number but there is a
recommended amount of memory/user so knowing the number of connections is
important. Memory usage can make a huge difference in a Solaris
environment. Make sure there hasn't been any changes in usage either. There
are lots of areas that could affect this but those would be my starting
points.
