Hmmm, but the "real hit ratio" was 68%?

When things become colder in the ARC, they expire to the L2ARC (or simply
expire, bypassing the L2ARC).  So it's normal to start filling the L2ARC,
even if you never hit anything in the L2ARC.

That is a REALLY high hit ratio for ARC.

It sounds to me, you probably have enough ram in there, that nearly
everything is being served from ARC.
