The problems I've are mainly related to the filesystem usage and the CPU fan. The CPU fan are used much more than under linux (on same laptop) and this can be indicative of excessive CPU usage or bad CPU stepping technology support from the kernel. Anyway this is mainly annoying than creating real problem (as long as you have a desk to put you laptop on and not using your lap). The fs usage is much more serious (from a user-perspective): when I've a lot of disk activity the system becomes very very slow and un-responsive. This happens either you read or write and either ZFS or UFS. Write on UFS is the worst case.
I've no data to show but we can try a way to find evidences and run some tests.
