My load on my i7 920 is certainly higher when I add a 8GB usb stick as a ZFS cache device. It seems to use about 10% system load - If I remove the cache device it drops about 10%. Anyone else seeing this?
With cache device: CPU: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 10.3% system, 0.0% interrupt, 91.5% idle Mem: 822M Active, 9101M Inact, 1542M Wired, 34M Cache, 1237M Buf, 375M Free Swap: 8192M Total, 200K Used, 8192M Free Without: up 56+01:04:25 21:50:01 137 processes: 1 running, 136 sleeping CPU: 0.1% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 99.9% idle Mem: 822M Active, 9101M Inact, 1542M Wired, 34M Cache, 1237M Buf, 375M Free The load reported by top is +0.50 with, and +0.00 without.
