Something i've been meaning to ask....

I'm transfering some data from my older server to my newer one. the older server has a socket 775 intel Q9550 8 gb ddr2 800 20 1TB drives in raidz2 (3 vdevs, 2 with 7 drives one with 6) connected to 3 AOC-SAT2-MV8 cards spread as evenly across them as i could

The new server is socket g34 based with the opteron 6128 8 core cpu with 16 gb ddr3 1333 ECC ram with 10 2TB drives (so far) in a single raidz2 vdev connected to 3 LSI SAS3081E-R cards (flashed with IT firmware)

I'm sure this is due to something i don't understand, but durring zfs send/recv from the old server to the new server (3 send/recv streams) I'm noticing the loadavg on the old server is muuuuuch less than the new one....

this is form top on the old server:

load averages: 1.58, 1.57, 1.37; up 5+05:13:17 04:52:42


and this is the newer server

load averages: 6.20, 5.98, 5.30; up 1+05:03:02 18:49:57

shouldn't the newer server have LESS load?

Do you have compression on? Compressing is more CPU intensive than uncompressing.
