We're processing about a million a day per server here (Solaris 9) and I've very rarely seen Clam using excessive CPU time. Mind you, the Solaris installation is extensively tuned for this application which may contribute to some of the difference. I'd suspect something to do with your Solaris installation rather than Solaris in general. It could be something in clamd triggereed by exiscan but then I'd expect to see the same problem on Linux! Solaris 10 is supposedly faster than Linux on the same platform btw although I've always found it to be very dependant on what you're trying to do.
