If it is a limitation in ZFS it would be nice to know that, perhaps it

It is possible that there is not enough memory in ARC to cache that large
directory.

Other than that, perhaps in ZFS it would be easier to prune the unused
directory entries, than it is in UFS. It looks like this is not implemented.

Another reason might be some FreeBSD specific implementation issue for
fstatfs.

In any case, the data available is not sufficient. More information would help, like how much RAM this system has, how much ARC uses, some ARC stats.

Which sysctl's would you like?

I grabbed these to start:
kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.size: 118859656
kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.hdr_size: 3764416
kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.data_size: 53514240
kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.other_size: 61581000

kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.hits: 46762467
kstat.zfs.misc.arcstats.misses: 16999907

The machine has 2GB of memory.

What made me wonder is .. how exactly the kernel and zpool disagree on zpool
version? What is the pool version in fact?

% dmesg | grep ZFS
ZFS NOTICE: Prefetch is disabled by default if less than 4GB of RAM is present; to enable, add "vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable=0" to /boot/loader.conf.
ZFS filesystem version 5
ZFS storage pool version 28

% zpool get version tank
NAME  PROPERTY  VALUE    SOURCE
tank  version   15       local

% zpool upgrade tank
This system is currently running ZFS pool version 15.

Pool 'tank' is already formatted using the current version.

I think this zpool upgrade thing is weird. Can you try 'zpool upgrade -a'?

Mine says:
zpool get version zroot
NAME   PROPERTY  VALUE    SOURCE
zroot  version   28       default

Mind the SOURCE=default vs. SOURCE=local.
Is it possible you did 'zpool set version=15 tank' in the past? You can check that with 'zpool history'.

NB: if you upgrade the boot pool, don't forget to upgrade to boot loader. (See UPDATING)
