I've noticed that as well.
I have 16G of RAM and two disks, the first one is UFS with the system
installation and the second one is ZFS which I use to store media and
data files and for poudreire.
I don't recall the exact date, but it started fairly recently. System would
swap like crazy to a point when I cannot even ssh to it, and can hardly
login through tty: it might take 10-15 minutes to see a command typed in
the shell.
I've updated loader.conf to have the following:
vfs.zfs.arc_max="4G"
vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable="1"
It fixed the problem, but introduced a new one. When I'm building stuff
with poudriere with ccache enabled, it takes hours to build even small
projects like curl or gnutls.
For example, current build:
[10i386-default] [2018-03-07_07h44m45s] [parallel_build:] Queued: 3 Built: 1
Failed: 0 Skipped: 0 Ignored: 0 Tobuild: 2 Time: 06:48:35
[02]: security/gnutls | gnutls-3.5.18 build
(06:47:51)
Almost 7 hours already and still going!
gstat output looks like this:

ada0 here is UFS driver, and ada1 is ZFS.
