I would say that the syscalls issue was gone as of Solaris 9 and Solaris 10 was very fast. The VM subsystem in Solaris is superior, and memory allocation using zones is excellent. Basically a Solaris zone is similar to an OpenVZ container.
Under load and under memory pressure, Solaris is as good as or better than Linux.
Despite all this, I am in the process of moving remaining Solaris systems to OpenVZ-based containers due to factors other than technical excellence and more to do with familiarity (clients are just more familiar with Linux than Solaris, though 90% of the shell etc. is the same).
