Sounds exactly like the behavior people have had previously while a system
is trying to recover a pool with a faulted drive.  I'll have to check and
see if I can dig up one of those old threads.  I vaguely recall someone here
had a single drive fail on an import and it took forever to import the pool,
running out of memory every time.  I think he eventually added significantly
more memory and was able to import the pool (of course my memory sucks, so
I'm sure that's not quite accurate).
