Hello,

in a benchmark a find to a filename (find -name foobar ) , ZFS is approx 
7 times slower than an XFS filesystem (14 minutes ZFS,2 Minutes XFS). 
The filesystem consists out of a huge amount of files.

I assume, that ZFS has no comparable function to the directory indexes 
like XFS or the dir_index option like ext3. Is this correct ? And what 
can i do to speed up such a find operation. I know it?s pathological 
benchmark, but is there a solution for this performance gap ?

Regards
Joerg
