zfs very poor performance compared to ufs due to lack of cache?

Or even try the opposite, if your version of ZFS permits it.
You can set primarycache=metadata on the filesystem where you have the data that
you serve via sendfile.  With that setting it shouldn't get cached in ARC, but it
should be still cached in VM cache, so you should get UFS-like behavior.

Will you test it? :)
