How much memory do you have on that machine, if you're running ZFS and VMs?

So I setup a MacZFS RaidZ rather easily and was happy with myself. I had four
3 TB internal SATA drives in a zpool giving me around 9 TB of space.
jamess-imac:~ sangie$ zpool status murr
pool: murr
state: ONLINE
scrub: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
murr ONLINE 0 0 0

So I Filled it up with about 5 GBs of data, mainly images and FLAC/music
files and everything just drags on it. It takes a long time for files to be
listed in finder and when I try to save an image from Firefox, it will just
grind and grind while I try to navigate to a folder. I have vmware Fusion
setup on my SSD (my main Mac drive) and doing anything on my zpool from
Windows (like using MediaMonkey to organize FLAC files on it) uses up 100% of
the CPU, freezing up my computer until the moves are done, even when moving
around 30 files.
Is my zpool okay? What's going on? Is this type of slowness normal or do I
have a bad drive? How will MacZFS report to me if a drive in the array goes
bad? I installed SMARTReporter Lite and it shows all drives as green. If I
have some drives on SATA II and others on SATA III would that affect
anything?
If you want me to run any tests on it, I will do so gladly. Just let me know.
Thanks!
