It could be done. At the present time ZFS is not really suitable on
systems without a lot of memory (I'd recommend at least 1GB). It is
also very hard to tune it to perform well on i386 because of VM and
address space issues. It might be possible to address these over
time.

Yeah, but at the rate they're making computers with more and more ram,
probably in 2 years or so a gig of ram will be like what we think of
256 megs today...some people already do regard a gig as not that much
even. Personally, I have a 1.5 gigs in my machine.
