Very bad ZFS performance on fresh FreeBSD 8 installation

[Freddie Cash]

You've limited the ARC to 64 MB, limited the kernel to 1 GB, and wondering
why performance is slow?  :)

You're running the 64-bit version of FreeBSD.  You can remove the kmem
settings from loader.conf.

And you should be able to boost the ARC to at least 1 GB (unless you really
need the RAM for app uses).

The best thing to do to improve performance is to add more RAM.  :)
