I disabled file prefetch and there was no effect.
Here are some performance numbers. Note that, when the application server used
a ZFS file system to save its data, the transaction took TWICE as long. For
some reason, though, iostat is showing 5x as much disk writing (to the physical
disks) on the ZFS partition. Can anyone see a problem here?
