Keep in mind that turning off this flag may corrupt on-disk state in the
event of power loss, etc.  What was the delta in the local case?  17
seconds better than UFS, but percentage wise how much faster than the
original?

NFS has the property that it does an enormous amount of synchronous
activity, which can tickle interesting pathologies.  But it's strange
that it didn't help NFS that much.

Unfortunately, there's no good way to do this, since the '::vdev'
command isn't pipeable, and you'd have to use '::map' with hardcoded
offsets that would be extremely brittle in the face of upgrades.
