A couple of questions for you: (1) What OS are you running (Solaris, BSD, MacOS X, etc)?
(2) What's your config? In particular, are any of the partitions on the same disk? (3) Are you copying a few big files or lots of small ones? (4) Have you measured UFS-to-UFS and ZFS-to-ZFS performance on the same platform? That'd be useful data...
