Hi Brad,
I believe benr experienced the same/similar issue here:
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/message.jspa?messageID=77347
If it is the same, I believe its a known ZFS/NFS interaction bug, and
has to do with small file creation.
Best Regards,
Jason

I had a user report extreme slowness on a ZFS filesystem mounted over NFS over the weekend.
After some extensive testing, the extreme slowness appears to only occur when a ZFS filesystem is mounted over NFS.
One example is doing a 'gtar xzvf php-5.2.0.tar.gz'... over NFS
Another thing to keep an eye out for is disk caching. With ZFS,
whenever the NFS server tells us to make sure something is on disk, we
actually make sure it's on disk by asking the drive to flush dirty data
in its write cache out to the media. Needless to say, this takes a
while.
