Can you strace the xterm to find out if it disables nagling via
setsockopt ?

Anyway connections to Solaris in link where speed is slightly
inferiour to ethernet speed are supposed to be slow if you don't
configure the retransmit times (ndd /dev/tcp retransmit_interval_* or
something in that lines).

Solaris 2.{4,5} has some very very broken TCP behaviour.
Do a tcpdump on the wire and you'll see the Solaris host retransmiting
like mad, sending double acks and having a completly insane behaviour.

regards,
Pedro.
