Note that in the user's command line, the 'gzip' is changed to 'lzop'. It has nothing to do with ZFS. Of course change the file extention to something like .lzo. If the 'lzop' utility is not available, then it is necessary to install it. In my testing I found that lzop was *much* faster than gzip and the result was maybe 15% less compressed. It makes a huge difference when you are talking about a lot of data.
