I looked at it for a while and the number of errors is not increasing.. I think 
that may have stemmed from when I was testing hot-plugging of the drive and 
disconnected it at one point.

The -xen helped me determine that it  was disks c7d0 and c7d1 that were slower.

I then tried to look at the cache settings in format:

pfexec format -e

If I look at c4t1d0, everything is how I expect it to be:

If I look at c7d0, I get a message about no "Alt Slice" found and I don't have 
access to the cache settings.  Not sure if this is part of my problem or not:
