All clients are in the wired client vlan, and are physical (bare metal/not 
virtual) clients.

The predator zpool is for vm disk storage, so while I'm wanting to increase 
performance of that, that's not even on my scope right now.

The drives in the "cargo" zpool are shared via SMB in EON.  I don't have any 
XP-based clients anymore, but do have a couple of server 2003 virtual machines. 
 I have heard rumor that Windows 7 boxes sometimes have performance issues with 
various different NAS OSs.  I have tried transfers from my virtual Server 2k3 
boxes, and while I don't get the errored out transfers, the speed is also low 
(which I attribute to the single disk zpool running 4-5 VMs which cannot handle 
that kind of traffic efficiently).  This test may indicate there is a problem 
with protocols, etc between the EON and the Windows 7 (x64) box.

As for the SSH session, I have never seen a delay in getting the login prompt.  
The only delay has been between entering the username and the password prompt.  
Never a delay between entering the password and getting the shell prompt 
either.  I've witnessed the same thing after elevating to root (using "su").

The other thing I noticed is that the delay in the video seems to come just 
before displaying the c0t2d0 drive, which also had an abnormally low output on 
diskspeed.sh.  Coincidintally, this was also the drive that was inadvertantly 
unplugged and caused me to have to resilver/scrub the zpool.  The zpool 
successfully resilvered and scrubbed with 0 uncorrected errors.

I don't suspect network issues, but I will try to back it up and eliminate 
anything out of the path that is unnecessary.  I'm starting to lean towards a 
compatibility issue between windows 7 and EON though.  Maybe I will try to boot 
a livecd of linux or something on my desktop to see if any of the problems are 
duplicated.
