ZFS - poor performance with "large" directories

[Albert Cervin]

Just to close this off, when using Samba with ZFS it seems to be very
important (if you have many files in a directory) to make it case
sensitive as per:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Performance_tuning#Handling_Large_Directories.

Everything is now roses and works as expected.

Sorry ZFS that I accused you! ;)

Thanks again!
