Just FYI. I ran a slightly different version of the test. I used SSD (for log & cache)! 3 x 32GB SSDs. 2 mirrored for log and one for cache. The systems is a 4150 with 12 GB of RAM. Here are the results

I have no idea. I downloaded the script from Bob without modifications and ran it specifying only the name of our pool. Should I have changed something to run the test?

If your system has quite a lot of memory, the number of files should be increased to at least match the amount of memory.

We have two kinds of x4500/x4540, those with Sol 10 10/08, and 2 running svn117 for ZFS quotas. Worth trying on both?

It is useful to test as much as possible in order to fully understand the situation.

Since results often get posted without system details, the script is updated to dump some system info and the pool configuration. Refresh from
