zfs_arc_max: This is the maximum amount of memory you want the
ARC to be able to use. Note that the ARC won't
necessarily use this much memory: if other applications
need memory, the ARC will shrink to accommodate.

However, if you have free memory that could be use to cache something,
then why not use some/all/most of it? I certainly expect any operating
system to try to use as much memory as possible and if it happens to use
it as some sort of file system backing cache, good on it...

Doesn't mean much though .. because I am able to do things and I suspect
free memory means very little with ZFS.
You need to make sure you test with b55+ (or was it b54).
There's a memory issue with b51-b54.

This has probably been asked before but is there a kernel tunable that
will restrict the high water mark for ZFS cache memory? This way I could
just grant 50% of mamory and no more. That sort of thing.
