mbuf* numbers represent memory being wasted IMHO.

In contrast to ZFS memory that can contain useful cached data,
contents of freed mbufs cannot be re-used, right?

Some amount of "free" mbufs in the zone's just fine to serve bursts of traffic
without need to grow the zone but your numbers are way too big IMHO.

Do you have memory pressure here? Growth of swap usage?
