I doubt you are running Solaris and Windows on the exact same hardware. 
  My first guess would be hardware speeds?  Maybe you could bench the IO 
and CPU and compare them.  You could also enable debugging in your 
mapfile, and I believe it'll include timing information.  May help point 
you in a direction.
