Try mounting the other way, so you read form NFS and write to ZFS (~DAS). That

NFS write is slow (compared to read) because of syncronous ack.
If you for some reason cant mount the other way, then you may want to play with 
NFS mount-options for write-buffer sizes  (wsize=) and async (risky but faster!)
I guess rsync has a wider ack-window that makes it faster than NFS write (i.e. 
buffers more without wait-state). Filesizes may have influence on the picture.


Could also try NFS over SSH :-)

 GIven you're not using compression for rsync, the only thing I can
 think if would be that the stream compression of SSH is helping
 here.

SSH compresses by default? I thought you had to specify -oCompression
and/or -oCompressionLevel?
