If your laptop runs faster using PostgreSQL under cygwin there should be a problem on your solaris server configuration and not postgresql. PosgreSQL on cygwin is not considered production ready so I guess it is not surprise being slower than MS SQL Server, but the solaris machine should be much faster.

Hint: Do you run vacuum frequentily?
