A tar pipeline still provides terrible file copy performance. Read bandwidth is only 26 MB. So I stopped the tar copy and re-tried the cpio copy.

A second copy with the cpio results in a read/write data rate of only 54.9 MB/s (vs the just experienced 132 MB/s). Performance is reduced by more than half. Based on yesterday's experience, that may diminish to only 33 MB/s.

The amount of data being copied is much larger than any cache yet somehow reading a file a second time is less than 1/2 as fast.

This brings me to the absurd conclusion that the system must be rebooted immediately prior to each use.

/etc/system tunables are currently:

set zfs:zfs_arc_max = 0x280000000
set zfs:zfs_write_limit_override = 0xea600000
set zfs:zfs_vdev_max_pending = 5
