The level of concern should depend on how you expect your storage pool to actually be used. It seems that it should work great for bulk storage, but not to support a database, or ultra high-performance super-computing applications. The good 8GB performance is due to successful ZFS ARC caching in RAM, and because the record size is reasonable given the ZFS block size and the buffering ability of the intermediate links. You might see somewhat better performance using a 256K record size. It may take quite a while to fill 150TB up.
