Scott,
yesterday I replaced my G200 with a G400 and made the same experience.
The G400 performance with 105195-06 (Solaris 2.6) is much worse than
the G200. Plus, there seems to be a redraw bug, affecting the G400
only. Everything is drawed for two times. Thus, we should ask Sun not
only to optimize the driver, but to debug it as well. I'll open a call
on Monday.

Regards, Udo
