This sets the amount of ARC that can be used for metadata. The default is
1/8th of ARC, I believe. This setting lets you use "primarycache=all"
(store metadata and file data in ARC) but then tune how much is used for
each.
Not sure if that will help in your case or not, but it's a sysctl you can
play with.
