Yes, I've seen lot's of information about ZFS tunables on FreeBSD which will 
give me plenty of reading.

I set zfs.zfs.prefetch_disable=0 because some dmesg line suggested/implied it 
would benefit. I don't recall the exact output now. So, I think it's probably 
best I just leave things as they are as my system is functioning well enough, 
as far as I can tell anyway. This is the first time I've used ZFS on FreeBSD so 
I am still very much in the 'learning process' where that is concerned. 

Thanks for your response Volodymyr. Very much appreciated.

Best wishes, Jamie.
