On this quad core box with 8 gig of ram and a 4 gig zfs ARC, I keep seeing tons 
of cross calls and cpu migration.

cross calls go up to 4000 during read only operations and up to 30000 during 
read and write operations.

The only thing running is postgresql and a single threaded import script 
written in python.
The whole import is wrapped in a transaction and constraints are deferred. I am 
using a recordsize of 8k for data and logs and fsync is off.
