To be honest. I would expect An SunFire v880 to be an slower fileserver
then a new intelbox, especially when there are only a few clients.

BUT, i should not be 10 times slower, something is wrong.

Are you running software-RAID on the sun ?

test "afsfsperf" from the arla-distribution against your fileserver.
Then you will see what operations are slow.
