8.1R ZFS almost locking up system

I've had a problem on a FreeBSD 8.1R system for a few weeks. It seems
that ZFS gets in to an almost unresponsive state. Last time it did it
(two weeks ago) I couldn't even log in, although the system was up, this
time I could manage a reboot but couldn't stop any applications (they
were likely hanging on I/O).
Here's some details I collected prior to reboot.
The zpool output, including iostat and gstat for the disks:
# zpool status
pool: pool0
state: ONLINE
scrub: none requested
config:

I've seen this before when I've had poor ZFS performance. There's more
I/O on the disks than on the pool itself. It's not particularly busy
though.
A few items from top, including zfskern:
PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND
5 root 4 -8 - 0K 60K zio->i 0 54:38 3.47% zfskern
91775 70 1 44 0 53040K 31144K tx->tx 1 2:11 0.00% postgres

11188 root 1 51 0 14636K 1572K tx->tx 0 0:03 0.00% zfs
At some point during this process my zfs snapshots have been failing to
complete:
root 5 0.8 0.0 0 60 ?? DL 7Aug10 54:43.83 [zfskern]
root 8265 0.0 0.0 14636 1528 ?? D 10:00AM 0:03.12 zfs snapshot -r pool0 at 2010-08-21_10:00:01--1d

It all seems to point at ZFS getting to the point of being almost
unresponsive. It's been exactly two weeks since the last time this
happened and therefore the last reboot, so it'll be interesting to see
if the same happens again after the same period of time.
I noticed this given in a few other ZFS related messages:
vfs.worklist_len: 15
I have attached all (hopefully) ZFS-related sysctl output.
Finally, the reboot log:
Aug 21 22:13:06 server kernel: Aug 21 22:13:06 server reboot: rebooted by tdb

Aug 21 22:22:55 server kernel: timed out

I've undoubtedly missed some important information, so please let me
know if there's anything more useful I can collect next time (I'm quite
sure it'll happen again).
Thanks,
Tim.
