Can you be more specific, I have been running 9.0 and 9.1 systems with multi-CPU and all ZFS with no (CPU related*) issues. I have (down to) ten FreeBSD/ZFS systems. Five of them are multi-socket populated. All are AMD CPUs of the 6200 series. Two of those multi-socketed systems are simply workstations and don't do much file I/O, so I have yet to see them fault. The remaining three perform significant I/O in the 1-8TB (simultaneous) file range, including sorting, compression, backup, etc (ZFS compression is enabled on some data sets as is dedup on a few minor data sets). I also do iSCSI and NFS from one of these systems. Simply, if I run 9.1 on those three busy systems ZFS will eventually hang under load (within ten hours to a few days) whereas it does not under 8.3/4. Two of those systems are 4x16 cores, one 2x16, and two 2x8 cores. Multiple, simultaneous pbzip2 runs on individual 2-5TB ASCII files generally causes a hang within 10-20 hours.
