My installed mbuffer was out of date.  After an upgrade:

# mbuffer -s 128k -m 1G -I 9090 | zfs receive
storage/compressed/bacula-mbuffer
mbuffer: warning: unable to set socket buffer size: No buffer space available
in @  0.0 kB/s, out @  0.0 kB/s, 1897 MB total, buffer 100% full


# time zfs send storage/bac...@transfer | mbuffer -s 128k -m 1G -O ::1:9090
mbuffer: warning: unable to set socket buffer size: No buffer space available
in @ 4343 kB/s, out @ 2299 kB/s, 3104 MB total, buffer  85% full
