Hi,
we tried different approaches to a /DATA partition (before trying using 
a ZFS /DATAZFS partition):

- an UFS partition (/DATA) on hardware raid10;
- a ZFS on hardware raid10;
- a ZFS mirror on two hardware stripes;

The UFS filesystems performed at 400MBps without any tweak while ZFS 
performed at 400MBps after tweaks.

So I don't think that these levels of performaces are related to file 
system.

Thanks,
