top isn't typically installed on Solaris 6 by default but you can get it from the sunfreeware site. iostat and vmstat (and sar, etc) are good tools but if you're not familiar with performance monitoring you may not really know what you're looking at or even how to use it correctly. Specifically for a Solaris 6 system, I'd suggest chasing down a copy of Adrian's book. It's even been helpful for HP, Linux and AIX systems however since I'm generally a Solaris admin, it's
the book to have for performance monitoring on older Solaris. Heck, a quick look at Amazon shows a copy going for $1.39 not including shipping (usually another $3.50 or so). That's a great buy. He also discusses kstat and tracking down I/O hogs.
