Why do you believe this is the case? Do you have examples where it's not being released? This is in fact the exact design of the ZFS ARC. It releases memory that is being used for its file system cache when user software requires memory. If that's not happening, that's a bug. But this is the exact pattern that I'd expect on most systems.
