Look at the output of 'iostat -xn 30' when the system is under load. 
Possibly ignore the initial output entry since that is an aggregate 
since the dawn of time.

You will need to know which disks are in each vdev.  Check to see if 
the asvc_t value for one of the disks is much more than the others in 
the same vdev. If a disk is acting as the bottleneck then it is likely 
that its asvc_t value is far greater than the others.

In order to get zfs's view of I/O at use

   zpool iostat -v poolname 30
