Todd - I believe that the major problem is that, with long-lived small data
in Disk type storage pools that fragmentation over time makes for a
lot of extra overhead - just gets worse and worse. It's not something one
would expect, living daily with OS file systems which do just fine with
many, many files. It may be that non-hierarchical organization is at play,
making for performance issues when the stgpool gets "holey" over time.
