We have an IMAP server that uses ZFS filesystems for all of its
mailbox and database files.  As the number of users increases,
with a consequent increase in the number of processes, the ARC
size decreases from 10 gigabytes down to 2 gigabytes.  I know that
it's supposed to do that, but in this case ZFS is starved for memory
and the whole thing slows to a crawl.  Is there a way to set a
minimum ARC size so that this doesn't happen?

We are going to upgrade the memory, but a lower limit on ARC size
might still be a good idea.
