We use compression on almost all of our zpools. We see very little if
any I/O slowdown because of this, and you get free disk space. In fact,
I believe read I/O gets a boost from this, since decompression is cheap
compared to normal disk I/O.

does anyone actually *use* compression ? i'd like to see a poll on how many
people are using (or would use) compression on production systems that are
larger than your little department catch-all dumping ground server. i mean,
unless you had some NDMP interface directly to ZFS, daily tape backups for
any large system will likely be an excersize in futility unless the systems
are largely just archive servers, at which point it's probably smarter to
perform backups less often, coinciding with the workflow of migrating
archive data to it. otherwise wouldn't the system just plain get pounded?
