Well, that largely depends upon the database size. And when database tuning is
not sufficient, the last advice is to upgrade the machine.

Now that you have a big enough machine, you can start tuning it right away.

One thing I can think of is connection pooling. AFAIK, solaris is not known for
a fast fork. So if your database requires frequent connection, make sure that
database connection pooling is used. That should eliminate the fork timeing
problem..
