What model is it? The Enterprise series is more than 10 models, is it a
E220/250/450/3500/4500/xxxx? I want to know that so I know the possible
disk layouts. Running "uname -a" should tell you.

Could you also post the output of "metadb" and "metastat" so I can see
how they are built?

You could save some by mounting /var/spool/mqueue with the option
noatime. It will not bother to update the access times all the time
then. Good for spool directories. This is an example of my queue
directory in vfstab:

/dev/md/dsk/d30 /dev/md/rdsk/d30 /queues ufs 1 yes noatime,logging
swap - /queues/MailScanner/incoming tmpfs - yes -

It holds my incoming and outgoing queues, I also mount the MailScanner
directory as tmpfs.

I have some more stuff but let's start with this for now.
