You'll note that the del/i column is zero. That means that you're not
seeing any delays.

15 to 20 microseconds seems pretty good. It means that all your reads
are hitting in the ARC and all your writes are asynchronous. You're not
hitting your disks at all. If you were, I'd expect to start seeing times
in milliseconds. Can you describe what behavior you were expecting to
see here that makes this seem odd?

Of course, averages can be misleading, you should certainly take break
things down more discretely and consider looking at the zone_vfs kstat
module or with DTrace.
