Really? Another guy had a different experience from yours. http://groups.google.com/groups?q=linux+oracle+sga+contention&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&selm=acua71%24sai97%241%40ID-82084.news.dfncis.de&rnum=2
Anyway you should comprare apple to apple and try an enterprise class linux like RHAS2.1 or SLES8 to Solaris. In 3 months or so 64Bit Intel CPUs will be avaiable, and becnhmarks on linux IA64+ Oracle 10i looks promising and Sun will be the primary target ;)
