Do you have dedup enabled? (This is pretty slow, and needs lots of metadata 
reads to make each write, and little RAM and no L2ARC is very bad with this)

Also, very full pools (vague definition based on history of the writes - 
generally 80% as a rule of thumb, though pathologies can be after 50% for some 
and 95%+ for others) - these can have very fragmented and small 'holes' in free 
space, which impacts write speeds (more random, and it takes more time to find 
the available location for a block).

You can also look at 'iostat -Xnz 1' output to see the i/o values per active 
device. Younare interested in reads/sec+writes/sec (hdds can serve about 
200ops/sec total, unless they happen to be small requests to sequentially 
placed sector numbers - in theory you might be lucky to see even 20000iops in 
such favorable case, in practice about 500 is not uncommon since related block 
locations in zfs are often coalesced). In iostat you'd also worry about 
%b(usy), %w(rite-wait) to see if some disks have a very different performance 
than others (e.g. one has internal problems and sector relocations to spare 
areas, or flaky cabling and many protocol re-requests involved in succesful 
ops). svct (service times) and queue lengths can also be useful.

You can get similar info with 'zpool iostat -v 1' as well, though interactions 
between pool io's and component vdev io's may be tricky to compare between 
raidz and mirror for example. You might be more interested in averaged 
differences (maybe across larger time ranges) between these two iostats - e.g. 
if you have some other io's that those from the pool (say, a raw swap 
partition).

Finally, consider dtrace-toolkit's and Richard Elling's scripts to sniff what 
logical (file/vdev) operations you have - and see how these numbers compare to 
those in pool i/o's at least on the order of magnitude. The difference can be 
metadata ops, or something else.

Hooe this helps get you started,
