    - Dedupe?
    - Compression?
    - How much RAM?
    - What debug options do you have enabled in the kernel?
    I've been noticing a slowdown in some respects with NFS/SMB, but I
suspected it was because I have an re(4) based NIC. ZFS has also wired
down a lot of my system memory for the L2ARC...
