Public bug reported:

I weekly backup my stuff to a Pentium 4 HT on FreeBSD 13.0 and to This
i5-2520M. FreeBSD on the Pentium is faster than Ubuntu 21.10 on the i5;
The Pentium runs constantly at a ~92% CPU load on one thread and it
succeeds in transferring the stuff at ~22Mbps. The I5 is slower and
sometimes transfers at 80Mbps, but it also stops transferring for many
seconds. When it stops transferring one of the CPU threads has a 100%
load according to the load measurement of Conky. If I look with the
task-manager the load is normal and in the expected range and it never
exceeds for any thread more than 70%.

All zfs datasets are lz4 compressed on all 3 sides and I use the same
send and receive command only the dataset names are different :)  The
send command is used with the -c parameter. The same situation worked
fine with ZFS 0.8.

I have the unhappy feeling that the 100% load on one thread is maybe
caused by emulation of an instruction not supported by the i5 and that
is why conky measures it and the task-manager not.

I hope you can find it or maybe 2.1.2 is better, otherwise I might have
to move the i5 to FreeBSD too :) :(

Here I use a modern 2TB HDD and on the Pentium 4 HDDs in two pools; one
with 2 x 3.5"IDE and th other with 2 x 2.5" SATA-1.
