Right, thanks (also to Richard and Daniel) for the explanation. I was
afraid this was to good to be true, nice to see it stated this clearly
though.

That  would leave us with three options;

1) Deal with it and accept performance as it is.
2) Find a way to speed things up further for this workload
3) Stop trying to use ZFS for this workload

Option 1 is not going to be feasible, so we're left with 2 and 3.

We will have to do some more benchmarks in the new year. Maybe if
trying different NFS wsize-s  results in different figures. Also we'll
look at UFS on the Thor, although I am not looking forward to handle
large amounts of data on anything other than ZFS. Spoiled for life
probably :)

In the mean time, if any of you would have time to look at our iozone
data and spotted glaring mistakes, we would definitely appreciate your
comments.

Thanks for your help,

With kind regards,

Jeroen
