Test results

After deleting a (fairly) large file on an ssd based gmirror, the system
becomes inresponsive for a certain period of time. This seems to be caused by
the calls to BIO_DELETE on the mirror, which can be monitored with gstat -d.
Doing exactly the same on an unmirrored UFS leaves the system unimpacted, as
the DELETE operation takes only a fraction of time there.

I've also tried tuning the behaviour of the mirror with the sysctl
kern.geom.dev.delete_max_sectors. Setting it to 0 oder greater values than the
default of 262144 does not significantly affect the performance.

A script which I used to test with is attached, also the results reformatted in
a better readable way.

The system is non productive and can be used to figure out what is going wrong.
Any help is appreciated.
