During the send you can also monitor "zpool iostat 1" and usual
"iostat -xnz 1" in order to see how busy the disks are and how
many IO requests are issued. The snapshots are likely sent in
the order of block age (TXG number), which for a busy pool may
mean heavy fragmentation and lots of random small IOs..
I have been able to verify that I can get a zfs send at 135MB/sec for a striped pool with 2 internal drives on the same server.

Each dataset had about 3-4 snapshots. There were about 36 datasets

I deleted the snapshots and the speed may have increased slightly.

Given "iostat -xnz 1" it looks like the IO's are very high. So I guess the drives are badly fragmented.

So is fixing this going to require a zfs pool rebuild?
