It's probably mixed. For low-throughput workloads, probably it reduces locality. For high-throughput systems, my understanding is that in the steady state, you're switching between metaslabs during a txg anyway, so the effect is reduced significantly. One thing we could do is change the default of spa_allocators down to 1 or 2, to reduce the odds of harm; people could then tune it up if they think it would give them more performance.
