As others have mentioned, it would be easier to take a stab at this if there is some more data to look at.
Have you done any ZFS tuning? If so, please provide the /etc/system, adb, zfs etc info. Can you provide zpool status output? As far as checking ls performance, just to remove name service lookups from the possibilities, lets use the '-n' option instead of '-l'.
