This is so only in some volumes in our case, but it appears that zfs

Is there a way to save cycles by offering zfs a hint as to where a 
previous copy of a file's blocks may be found?

yeah, i read somewhere that zfs DOES have separate tuning for metadata 
and data cache, but i need to read up on that more.

as for heavy block duplication: daily backups of the whole system = alot of
