Post your code somewhere. Perhaps you are doing something horribly wrong.
Anyone have any idea why we are seeing such poor performance on Solaris?

Sparc processors aren't exactly well known for their blazing speed. Try a
trivial CPU benchmark like hashcash. The Sparc box might be better at
concurrency, but your Twisted benchmark is probably not using multiple CPUs.
Also, Twisted 2.5 includes an epoll reactor. It should scale considerably
better than poll, but you need a 2.6 Linux kernel for it.
