FUSE stands for Filesystem in userspace. which doesn't necessarily mean that there's a performance degradation. When I checked zfs-fuse on my CentOS 5.3 box, the speeds I got were similar to the speeds I am getting from the same hardware running OpenSolaris.
ZFS is indeed a very powerful file system, but that doesn't mean, that it's out of the box configuration is suitable for the hardware you have at hand. And... ZFS loves Ram - the more the better. When I started playing with ZFS it seemd to me that ZFS didn't hold up to what it promised, but since then I have gathered some more experience and now my ZFS storage is performing really well. Just a couple of quick numbers. I am running my OpenSolaris box on a Dell PE R610 with 32 GB RAM and an E.on Store Sata2FC Raid with 2 logical volumes containing 8 SATA drives each. I am getting 360 MB/Sec read and write, when running my backup 2 disk to it.
