Based on measurements, we get a x^3 polynomial in clone time. Sub 2000 clones it's not too bad, but over 2000 clones the delay in the ioctl() ramps up pretty quickly. I've got a fairly solid set of stats and drew some estimates based on the trend line. See attached datasheet. ** Attachment

Looks like there is a lot of contention on a futex and the underlying database too. Perf record and perf report can show that most of the issues are more to do with lxd, database and futex lock contention. Once these are resolved, I'll be happy to re-analyze the entire ZFS + lxd stack, but I

I've now compared ZFS with BTRFS and the overall CPU load profile from lxd in both scenarios is surprisingly similar - lxd is eating a lot of CPU and I think there is an underlying issue there rather than a massively broken performance issue with ZFS. See the attached data sheet; the CPU
