Priming the cache for ZFS should work at least after boot
When freemem is large; any read block will make it to
cache. Post boot when memory is primed with something else
(what?) then it gets more difficult for both UFS and ZFS to
guess what to keep in caches.
Did you try priming ZFS after boot ?

Why do you believe you need that at all ? What do you do to "prime" the
cache with UFS and what benefit do
