Hi Bob,

My guess is something like it's single threaded, with each file dealt with in 
order and requests being serviced by just one or two disks at a time.  With 
that being the case, an x4500 is essentially just running off 7200 rpm SATA 
drives, which really is nothing special.

A quick summary of some of the figures, with times normalized for 3000 files:

Sun x2200, single 500GB sata:   6m25.15s
Sun v490, raidz1 zpool of 6x146 sas drives on a j4200:  2m46.29s
Sun X4500, 7 sets of mirrored 500Gb SATA:  3m0.83s
Sun x4540, (unknown pool - Jorgen, what are you running?):   4m7.13s

This new one from Scott Lawson is incredible (but technically quite possible):

SPARC Enterprise M3000, single SAS mirror pair: 3m25.13s
