this is on linux with zfs-fuse (since no other zfs implementation besides 
zfs-fuse has support for lzo at this time)

btw - here is some additional comparison - now with some real-world data.

copying over some mysql database dir (var/lib/mysql) of size 231M gives:

lzo  | 0m41.152s | 2.31x
lzjb | 0m42.976s | 1.83x
gzip |1m21.637s | 3.26x

i cannot tell if lzo and lzjb performance is really comparable, since 
zfs-fuse/linux may behave very differently to zfs/solaris - but in comparison 
with lzjb, lzo compression seems to give better results overall.

btw: besides opensource lzo there is some closed source lzo professional which 
is even more optimzied. 

maybe sun should think about lzo in zfs - albeit those licensing issues. i`m 
sure that could be resolved somehow, maybe by spending an appropriate amount of 
bucks to mr. oberhumer.
