Hi Eric,
How many users do you have? It is typical to have one or more imapd
processes per user. Look at the I/O stats for your filesystems to
see if you have a bottleneck somewhere. Also, what type of SSDs are
you using for your ZFS log devices? We found we needed RAM-style
SSDs to maximize our I/O performance under ZFS.
Regards,
Ken
