Then, I installed CentOS on the same hardware, same version of mysql 
(5.6.10-enterprise and 5.6.10-GA), and I tried an OLTP test (included in 
sysbench-0.5) executing 2000000 queries on 10000000 rows, with these 
results (transactions per seconds):

Well, any of you could ask "why zfs, please try ufs that is better": you 
are right, but changing ZFS with UFS doesn't change so much:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-fs/2013-March/016747.html

So I hope I'm missing something because the performances of a standard 
CentOS installation on the same hardware performs much better than a 9.1 
amd64 installation (I'm using the standard ULE scheduler included in the 
9.1 release).

Could anyone help me?

Thanks,
d.
