I was really hoping for some option other than ZIL_DISABLE, but finally gave up the fight. Some people suggested NFSv4 helping over NFSv3 but it didn't... at least not enough to matter.
ZIL_DISABLE was the solution, sadly. I'm running B43/X86 and hoping to get up to 48 or so soonish (I BFU'd it straight to B48 last night and brick'ed it). Here are the times. This is an untar (gtar xfj) of SIDEkick (http://www.cuddletech.com/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=491) on NFSv4 on a 20TB RAIDZ2 ZFS Pool: ZIL Enabled: real 1m26.941s ZIL Disabled: real 0m5.789s I'll update this post again when I finally get B48 or newer on the system and try it. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. benr.
