I've just generated some data for an upcoming blog entry on
the subject. This is about a small file tar extract :

All times are elapse (single 72GB SAS disk)

Local and memory based filesystems

        tmpfs   :  0.077 sec
        ufs     :  0.25  sec
        zfs     :  0.12  sec

NFS service that can end up corrupting client's view of data:

        nfs/ufs :  7     sec (write cache enable)
        nfs/zfs :  4.2   sec (write cache enable, zil_disable=1)
        nfs/zfs :  4.7   sec (write cache disable, zil_disable=1)

NFS service that will not corrupt the client's view:

        nfs/ufs : 17     sec (write cache disable)
        nfs/zfs : 12     sec (write cache disable, zil_disable=0)
        nfs/zfs :  7     sec (write cache enable, zil_disable=0)


ZFS numbers tend to have more variability from run to run
than UFS. I still need to plow through the data to figure a
few things out. Watch this space for more info...
