Solaris FEN need stat things to get the precise file time stamps before fetch the correct events. We also need stat the missing files to know when they are available. If the system is overload due to stat, the only thing we can do is reduce the frequency of the sys-call stat. Parkash is the expert of Solaris FEN, he may correct the mistakes if there have.
