I'm not sure if you've taken it too far, but I'm not entirely sure if = you're getting any advantage over using rsync or similar for this kind = of thing. First two things that spring to mind: Do you have any legacy stuff on the receiving machine? Things like = physically removed old zpools, that are still in zpool.cache, seems to = slow down various operations, including creation of new stuffs (such as = the snapshots you receive). Also, you don't mention if you're deleting old snapshots on the = receiving end? If you're doing an incremental run every 15 minutes, = that's something like 3000 snapshots pr. month, pr. filesystem.
