This might have been affected by the cache flush issue -- if the 3310 flushes its NVRAM cache to disk on SYNCHRONIZE CACHE commands, then ZFS is penalizing itself. I don't know whether the 3310 firmware has been updated to support the SYNC_NV bit. It wasn't obvious on Sun's site where to download the latest firmware.
A quick glance through the OpenSolaris code indicates that ZFS & the sd driver have been updated to support this bit, but I didn't track down which release first introduced this functionality.
