This may be the wrong approach if the issue is really that there are 
too many I/Os queued for the device.  Finding a tunable which reduces 
the maximum number of I/Os queued for a disk device may help reduce 
write latencies by limiting the backlog.

On my Solaris 10 system, I accomplished this via a tunable in 
/etc/system:
set zfs:zfs_vdev_max_pending = 5

What is the equivalent for FreeBSD?
