You have to compare not only CPU frequencies but the CPU models. Recently Sun has been selling CPUs optimized for multi-threading (e.g. the "UltraSPARC T2" or Niagara CPUs) which have, by design, very poor single-threaded performance. If your Solaris zone uses such a CPU then a 6-8x difference in single-threaded performance compared to a modern Intel or AMD CPU is totally expected.
