Just that media files tend not to compress further. I have ZFS on my home NAS box too, and though I do still have compression enabled I shouldn't because the compression ratio is 1.00! I also wouldn't hesitate to use ZFS on a machine with 16G or 8G RAM. The system installer does a fine job of setting it up for you (including a separate partition for swap). G.
