Since he is going to apply the patches at people.freebsd.org/~rmacklem,
that should cover the important stuff. I have no idea if any of them
will help. (One might explain why the clients become unusable. As for
performance related to ZFS, I don't know anything about that. I've
seen the emails go by on the mailing lists. I am hoping we can capture
that information and put it in one place for users someday soon.)
