For the archives, it is interesting to note that when I do not perform a 
local "dd" to the device, but instead use rsync over ssh (thus being limited 
by network/cpu) performance is fine. It bursts out every now and then:

Performance is still not visibly stellar, but then the actual stransfer is 
only 4 megs or so per second and I don't know how flushes are handled by zfs. 
But it's most definitely faster than the 4 mb/second seen when dd:ing to the 
pool.
