Our server was really busy. And the TCP/IP stack of Solaris 2.5 performs
bad in high traffic situations. And *this* was our problem. If there are
many re-transmissions or packet drop at your TCP stack, then the number of
file descriptors needed to give the same performance is significantly
higher.

To another question:

You can set the max fd on Solaris 2.5 as well. The default fd limit on
Solaris 2.6 is also 1024.
