Hi,
I don't know if this has been discussed before, but have you thought
about adding LZO compression to ZFS?
One zfs-fuse user has provided a patch which implements LZO compression,
and he claims better compression ratios *and* better speed than lzjb.
The miniLZO library is licensed under the GPL, but the author
specifically says that other licenses are available by request.
A CDDL compatible license for miniLZO would be needed for this to be
acceptable in OpenSolaris.
I'd also highly recommend checking that this actually works for ZFS in
the kernel - which also means porting miniLZO to be a kernel module on
Solaris.
