Solaris 8 thread process question

[Kruzer]

I have a situation were I have some code that simulates 200 con-current (GET requests) users hitting a Solaris 8 2 CPU box and I'm able to watch one CPU processing hit a peak of 90% and the other CPU at around 20% working on a few threads. Has anyone seen or heard of a situation like this?

I'm reading an article that mentions how thread processing is done on Solaris 8 (many to many) vs. 9 (one to one)

It mentions a patch that could be applied to alleviate the performance hit, has anyone implemented it before?
