However, I can't help but think that if my file server is
  compressing every data block that it writes that it would be able to write
  more data if it used a thread (or more) per core I would come out ahead.

No arguments here. MT-hot compression was the design of ZFS from day one.
A bug got in the way and made compression singled threaded
per zpool.
