I do agree with you that this is a problematic scenario. The issue is
with how fast the data arrives. If the data is written quickly, then
quite a lot of data will be written in each transaction group and zfs
can usefully optimize that transaction group. If the data trickles
in, then it is a difficult problem for any general-purpose filesystem
to solve.
