Machine stops for some seconds with ZFS

[Bob Friesenhahn]

After reading this thread of discussion I see that the subject of the 
discussion is misleading since the subject provides a conclusion.  It 
could have said "with FreeBSD" or some other feature of the system.

The filesystem is obviously a key part of the system so that the 
system is not very usable without it.

The mention of strange fan operation (extremely loud and then 
extremely silent and then extremely loud again) makes it sound like 
the problem has little to do with the filesystem.  It would cause me 
to believe that there is something wrong with power management logic, 
which could be related to software or hardware, but not likely with 
zfs.
