But ~33 of that 40% is generic RAID overhead, and has nothing to do with =
the 4K block size issue.  (I.e., you would have 33% hit even if you were =
running UFS on a three disk RAID5.)

On any real-world system where you're running ZFS, it's unlikely the 4K =
block overhead is really going to be an issue.  And the underlying disk =
hardware is moving to 4K physical sectors, anyway.  Sooner or later =
you're just going to have to suck it up.
