>Description:
sendfile from ZFS filesystems does not appear to use the read cache, and may not be read combining either.  Serving files streaming media using default lighttpd setup on FreeBSD+ZFS we get 50+mbyte/sec disk I/O and *barely* 300-400mbit output.  Same hardware, same streaming media load, it saturates a gig-e connection with ~2mbyte/sec disk I/O.  This should be easy to reproduce with any HTTP benchmark suite and anything serving with sendfile on ZFS as lighttpd does.
