Raidz is definitely made for sequential IO patterns not random. To get good random IO with raidz you need a zpool with X raidz vdevs where X = desired IOPS/IOPS of single drive.
Remarkably, I have yet to see mention of someone testing a raidz which is comprised entirely of FLASH SSDs. This should help with the IOPS, particularly when reading.
