I wish Solaris Next would deliver some Kstat tools which can easily report:

  CPU utilistion, saturation
  Mem utilisation, saturation
  Disk, Net same numbers...

sysperfstat does this very good.

Having one single tool which will report utilisation|stauration would be 
a great tool for SysAdmins.
