Since the writes to disk are all zero, you may create a sparse file, or ZFS itself may omit the writes corresponding to the blocks that make up that file when it realizes they're entirely composed of zeroes. I would suggest bonnie++ as a more suitable benchmark; it compiles easily on Solaris 10, or I can post a package if you'd like.
