I'm starting simple, there is no app. I have a 10GB file (called foo) on the internal FC drive, I did a zfs create raidz bar .... then ran "cp foo /bar/", so there is no cpu activity due to an app.
As a test case, this took 7 min 30 sec to copy to the zfs partition. I removed the pool, formatted a single drive, and then tried to copy the same file to a single drive that was nfs mounted. This only took 5 min 30 sec. Watching disk activity, it seems like I get 2-4 seconds of writes, followed by 2-4 seconds of inactivity.
