Hi,
Why does the zfs listing eat so much of the CPU ?

This is from winter 2017 11-STABLE (r310734), one of the 'zfs'es is
cloning, and all the others are 'zfs list -t all'. I have like 25 gigs
of free RAM, do I have any chance of speeding this up using may be some
caching or some sysctl tuning ? We are using a simple ZFS web API that
may issue concurrent or sequential listing requests, so as you can see
they sometimes do stack.
Thanks.
Eugene.
