Yep, this problem exists. You may workaround it via bumping up
net.inet.tcp.sendspace up to 128k. zfs sendfile is very ineffective. I have
made a small investigation via DTrace, it reads MAXBSIZE chunks, but map in vm
only one page (4K). I.e. if you have a file with size 512K, sendfile make
calls freebsd_zfs_read 128 times.
