Is the system otherwise responsive during the zfs sync cycles?

I ask because I think I'm seeing a similar thing - except that it's not only other writers that block , it seems like other interrupts are blocked. Pinging my zfs server in 1s intervals results in large delays while the system syncs, followed by normal response times while the system buffers more input...

I don't see any such problems unless compression is enabled. When compression is enabled, the TXG sync causes definite response time issues in the system.
