It depends what you mean by "real".
I'm using it for everything (including root) on several systems:
1 amd64 machine in a desktop role
* single SATA disk
1 i386 machine in a server role (with only 512MB RAM)
* raidz over 3 ATA100 disks
4 i386 machines in desktop roles
* two are single disk setups
* one is a 3 disk raidz (SATA)
* one is a 1GB compactflash card in a PCMCIA converter
(diskless laptop)
1 bootable USB flash memory stick (i386 kernel) that I sometimes
plug in to random machines. It's a 2GB stick and is configured
with lots of desktop stuff but is also handy for hardware tests
and recovering stuff off broken windows machines. gzip
compression really shines here
I also have a couple of external USB hard drives that have a zpool on
them. One of them is geli encrypted. The other holds the src/obj/ports
filesystems for my flash-based systems, so it gets plugged in and zpool
import/export'd a lot when there are updates.
My recipe generally involves setting vm.kmem_size to somewhere between
1/3 and 1/2 of physical RAM size, and reducing kern.maxvnodes to
somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3 of its autotuned value. I sometimes
disable prefetch, but honestly I can't tell a difference between it
being on or off.
