ZFS - poor performance with "large" directories

[krad]

true, but in my experience usb pen drives are variable in terms of
performance across different sticks and different areas of the same stick.
This can complicate things a little, and is often not worth the effort. You
obviously run the ssd over usb though, and I still do on one server I run
as I haven't been able to sort the down time yet.
