OK I have a very large zfs snapshot I want to destroy. When I do this, the 
system nearly freezes during the zfs destroy. This is a Sun Fire X4600 with 
128GB of memory. Now this may be more of a function of the IO device, but let's 
say I don't care that this zfs destroy finishes quickly. I actually don't care, 
as long as it finishes before I run out of disk space.

So a suggestion for room for growth for the zfs suite is the ability to lazily 
destroy snapshots, such that the destroy goes to sleep if the cpu idle time 
falls under a certain percentage.

How doable is that?
