If one disk is stuck at 100% busy, constantly, it usually means that disk is
dying, dead, or there's a problem with its backplane. Check sw/hw/trn errors
with iostat. Check fmdump. See zpool status -v for chksum errors.

Did you test the disks before deploying? A 12 way mirror and
filebench/bonnie++/iozone is a nice way to quickly stress them.

A hung disk can affect system performance in extremely obnoxious ways.

Offline the disk and see if performance improves. Depending on the driver this
can take many minutes. (May be faster to just pull the disk and let the kernel
notice it's actually really gone instead of just maybe not talking anymore.)
