I sometimes run a simple benchmark which tests most combinations of block and fragment sizes starting with 4096-512. This didn't show anoy problems for 4k blocks either pre- or post-ufs2. But it doesn't test snapshots, actual ufs2 filesystems, or anything else that is newer than soft updates, or full filesystems...
