--- Comment #4 from John F. Carr <jfc@mit.edu> ---
I see this on two systems running 13.1-STABLE but can not confirm any effect on
performance.  Try doing a small I/O and running "sync" for a more controlled
test.  Running "sync" causes the decrease to appear sooner than it ordinarily
would.  I recall that ZFS likes to merge writes on a time scale of several
seconds.


In the openzfs code the sysctl variable "l2_asize" is the struct field
arc_stats_t.
arcstat_l2_psize.  This is more obscure than it ought to be.
