Given that both boxes are single CPU, albeit dual-core, and there are 4 processes running for the benchmark (tcpcli, tcpserv, 2 * stunnel) I figured a single thread test would be reasonable.
I did repeat the benchmark with 10 threads and the slower Linux box still outperformed the faster Solaris box, although not by as much.

Are you sure benchmarking with one thread (= single connection at a time) reflects your environment?
