I'm starting simple, there is no app. I have a 10GB file (called foo) on the internal FC drive, I did a zfs create raidz bar then ran cp foo /bar/, so there is no cpu activity due to an app. As a test case, this took 7 min 30 sec to copy to the zfs partition. I removed the pool,

One last tidbit, for what it is worth. Rather than watch top, I ran xcpustate. It seems that just as the writes pause, the cpu looks like it hits 100% (or very close), then it falls back down to its lower level. I'm still getting used to Solaris 10 as well, so if you have a DTrace script
