I guess, I made my statement ambiguous. I mean: I shall experiment asynchronous I/O, the new feature introduced in Solaris 10 & if that improves perfromance, implement the equivalent stuff in Solaris 9.
Now my question is: shouldn't replacing the synchronous calls with asynchronous ones improve the performance?

aio_return
AIO_RETURN(3) Linux Programmer's Manual AIO_RETURN(3)
NAME
aio_return - get return status of asynchronous I/O operation
SYNOPSIS
#include <aio.h>
ssize_t aio_return(struct aiocb *aiocbp);
Link with -lrt.
DESCRIPTION
The aio_return() function returns the final return status for the asynchronous I/O request with control block pointed to by aiocbp. (See
aio(7) for a description of the aiocb structure.)
This function should be called only once for any given request, after aio_error(3) returns something other than EINPROGRESS.
RETURN VALUE
If the asynchronous I/O operation has completed, this function returns the value that would have been returned in case of a synchronous
read(2), write(2), fsync(2) or fdatasync(2), call.
If the asynchronous I/O operation has not yet completed, the return value and effect of aio_return() are undefined.
ERRORS
EINVAL aiocbp does not point at a control block for an asynchronous I/O request of which the return status has not been retrieved yet.
ENOSYS aio_return() is not implemented.
VERSIONS
The aio_return() function is available since glibc 2.1.
ATTRIBUTES
Multithreading (see pthreads(7))
The aio_return() function is thread-safe.
CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.
EXAMPLE
See aio(7).
