Can you please try to run the fork_100 test from the libMicro-0.4.0 benchmark on that SNV87 HVM DomU?
The source of the benchmark is available for download here:

On an "AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6400+" / metal / snv_89, the fork benchmark runs for 4.77 seconds (that's the output included above). Under xVM / Xen and on current Intel / AMD processors it should complete in 20-30 seconds.
I've seen cases where the fork_100 benchmark used > 700 seconds, when I ran it in a 32-bit PV domU.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I do have a workaround for this xen / opensolaris performance problem[*]; it's a modified /usr/lib/libc/libc_hwcap3.so.1 shared C library (see the attachment). It was compiled from current opensolaris source (post snv_89), but seems to work OK under snv_81. Under xVM you should find a lofs mount like this in "df -h" output:
# df -h Filesystem
size used avail capacity Mounted on ... /usr/lib/libc/libc_hwcap3.so.1 6.1G 4.1G 1.9G 69% /lib/libc.so.1 ...
Now try this in your domU:
# gunzip < libc_hwcap3.tar.gz | ( cd /tmp; tar xfv - ) x libc_hwcap3.so.1, 1646444 bytes, 3216 tape blocks
# mount -O -F lofs /tmp/libc_hwcap3.so.1 /lib/libc.so.1
Now run the fork_100 benchmark. It might run much faster.
And after "umount /lib/libc.so.1", the fork_100 should become slow.
