I think that if you notice the common thread; those who run SPARC's are having performance issues vs. those who are running x86. I know from my experience, I have a P4 3.2Ghz prescott desktop with 2.5gb ram, and a Lenovo t61p laptop with 4gb, both of them have no performance issues with zfs; infact, with zfs, the performance has gone up.
