I was actually referring to the "Evil ZFS Tuning Guide" which,
while helpful, doesn't come close to completely documenting the
tunables that exist and in my opinion also doesn't really address
the testing issue.

Obviously I don't expect anyone else to benchmark my own systems for
me, but more information about the expected effects would allow me
to test more efficiently.

The fact that it targets Solaris and that the directions don't
apply directly never bothered me so far and I think the existing
parts are pretty good in general.

FWIW, the diff between working and non-working assembler can be found at
http://people.freebsd.org/~stefanf/tmp/libgcc_s.s.diff .
Not that I expect much from that.

This would be very helpful.  One of the longer-term goals for the storage stack 
is to make all of these things self-tuning, and some well-tested data points 
showing system configuration, workload, and performance would be a good 
starting point for this.
