Linux will generally outperform Solaris in many CPU related benchmarks, all other things equal. Not sure about network interface performance. Networking performance has always been a weaker area in Linux. Regardless, both will work just fine.
Normally there are other concerns more important than raw hardware performance, including: training, existing skill sets, requirements for commercial support and other corporate factors. The ultimate decision should take into consideration the human, support and sustainability factors and weigh them appropriately.

I know that Sun make s a version of Solaris for Sparc platforms and also an x86 (Intel/AMD) release of Solaris. Can an application that runs on Solaris/Sparc also run on a PC running the x86 release of Solaris? Would a different release be required or any re-compling of the application?

LONGRUN(1) General Commands Manual LONGRUN(1)
NAME
Transmeta(TM) Crusoe(TM) LongRun(TM) utility
SYNOPSIS
longrun [-c device] [-m device] [-hlpv] [-f flag] [-s low high]
DESCRIPTION
The longrun utility is used to control and query LongRun settings on Transmeta Crusoe processors.
-c device
Set the CPUID device. The default CPUID device is /dev/cpu/0/cpuid.
-m device
Set the MSR device. The default CPUID device is /dev/cpu/0/msr.
-h Print help.
-l List LongRun information about available performance levels for the CPU.
The following values are reported on all Transmeta CPUs that implement LongRun.
% An available performance level, expressed as a percentage of range of available core CPU frequencies. 0 corresponds to
the lowest available frequency and 100 corresponds to the highest.
MHz The core CPU frequency at that level.
Volts The core CPU voltage at that level.
usage The power usage relative to the maximum performance level.
-p Print current LongRun settings and status: whether LongRun is enabled, whether LongRun Thermal Extensions are active, the current
LongRun performance window (expressed as a percentile range), the current LongRun performance level (expressed as a percentile), and
the current LongRun flags.
-v Be more verbose.
-f flag
Set a LongRun mode flag. Currently, the two supported flags are performance and economy. This controls whether the processor is in
"performance mode" or "economy mode".
-s low high
Set the current LongRun performance window as a percentile range. The low number cannot be greater than the high number. The
minimum and maximum performance values accepted by the CPU are 0 and 100, respectively.
ENVIRONMENT
No environment variables are used.
FILES
This program requires that the Linux CPUID and MSR devices be compiled into the kernel (or loaded as kernel modules), that the CPUID
character device be readable, and that the MSR character device be both readable and writable.
