It's alive!!  Some 20 hours after starting, the zpool import finished, and all 
data is alive & well.  

I ordered the extra RAM, so that'll no doubt help in the future.  I'm also in 
the process of de-Xen'ing the server I had running under xVM, so Solaris will 
get the whole 8GB to itself.  Finally, I turned off compression & dedup on all 
the datasets, used zfs send to dump them to a clean pool that hasn't and won't 
see dedup.  

Lesson learned on dedup...  Toy home servers need not apply. =)

I need to do a bit of benchmarking on compression on the new drives as 
decompressing everything expanded several of the datasets a bit more than I 
would have liked.  Might turn it on selectively as long as it's only dedup that 
causes `zfs destroy` to take an eternity.

Thanks all for the calm words.  Turned out I just needed to wait it out, but 
I'm not very good at waiting when sick storage arrays are involved. =)
