 I think that you are gradually approaching a correct solution to the problem,
 but from quite a different angle comparing to how I would approach the problem.
 
 In fact, I think that it was this commit
 http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/254304 that broke a balance between the
 page cache and ZFS ARC.
 
 On technical side, I see that you are still using kernel_sysctlbyname in your
 patches.  As I've said before, this is not needed and in certain sense incorrect.
