The specific reason is performance and memory consumption. We need every
piece of performance and all memory to MySQL daemon, so this is why
gmirror was choosen.
We have ZFS on other purposes machines for years (from 7.x days), so I
can say "I have a lot of experiences" (good and bad too).
In some tests, ZFS is about 50% slower than UFS.
What about graid(8) mirror instead of gmirror(8)? Is there better
support for TRIM on UFS?
