ZFS seems very good at keeping the disk busy with lots of buffering - on
my machine gstat shows the disk at 100% for several seconds even after
the application has finished. Despite seeing iops go as high as 65k the
average seems not so impressive at around 15k, though it is only on a
single SATA drive.
