AFAIR, any of the patches that were around were either incomplete or inconsistent & were good attempts to solve the problem but turned out in the end to not effect the problem in a positive or negative way. I may be wrong as it seems the problem has a few variables that determine its effect in different cases, usage, hardware mixture & implementation. If there is one thing that I have been seeing more of was the perl hack that gets every process on your system to swap-out to free RAM for use by ZFS or whatever its intention. perl -e '$x = "x" x 1000000;' It might be a good thing to mention this on the ZFS tuning section of the wiki for reference.
