He never said they were identical symptoms, he said he had a somewhat similar experience. Different kernel, different build of Solaris, different CPU's. You can't even attempt to say you were hitting the same issue with as little information as has been provided. I've got gzip9 running on a dataset right now with a nearly identical setup to what he had without issue. I'd say let's stop jumping to conclusions. As for your 1024 not making a difference, did you turn off the GUI in that instance and all unnecessary services? Search the discussion lists and you'll find plenty of people who had "no difference" increasing ram until they cross the threshold of giving zfs what it needs vs. not for their workload. Claiming it's "only 3MB/sec" and downplaying all the bad design decisions you've made so far isn't helping the situation at all. --Tim
