You may have seen my cunning plan:

I've been doing some testing today. The first of my tests comparing
partitions aligned on a 4KB boundary are in. I created a 5x2TB zpool,
each of which was set up like this:
gpart add -b 1024 -s 3906824301 -t freebsd-zfs -l disk01 ada1
or
gpart add -b 34 -s 3906824301 -t freebsd-zfs -l disk01 ada1
Repeat for all 5 HDD. And then:
zpool create storage raidz2 gpt/disk01 gpt/disk02 gpt/disk03 gpt/disk04
gpt/disk05
Two Bonnie-64 tests:
First, with -b 34:
# ~dan/bonnie-64-read-only/Bonnie -s 5000

And then with -b 1024
# ~dan/bonnie-64-read-only/Bonnie -s 5000

My reading of this: All M/sec rates are faster except sequential input.
Comments?
I'll run -s 20000 and -s 50000 tests overnight and will post them in the
morning.
Sunday, I'll try creating a 7x2TB array consisting of 5HDD and two
sparse files and see how that goes. Here's hoping.
Full logs here, including a number of panics:
