Solaris 8 comes with prstat which is close the top output - see the prstat man page for more info. If your system is running sar via crontab, you can look at it's output also - see the man page for sar.
Example of sar
In user "sys" crontab
0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /usr/lib/sa/sa1
That creates files in /var/adm/sa - use the following command to see aspects of how the server was running for yesterday (the 19th)
sar -qucgf /var/adm/sa/sa19
Caution - before turning on sar via crontab, make sure you have the room for the files in /var/adm/sa - they can get rather big.
You can also use vmstat to show cpu and memory - see the vmstat man page.

SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib64/sa/sa2
DESCRIPTION
The sa2 command is a shell procedure variant of the sar command which writes a daily report in the /var/log/sa/sardd file, where the dd
parameter indicates the current day. The sa2 command handles all of the flags and parameters of the sar command.
The sa2 command is designed to be started automatically by the cron command.
EXAMPLES
To run the sa2 command daily, place the following entry in your root or adm crontab file:
5 19 * * 1-5 /usr/lib64/sa/sa2 -A &
This will generate a daily report called /var/log/sa/sardd It will also remove reports more than one week old.
FILES
/var/log/sa/sardd
