I am not sure if it is related with this issue, but I am investigating a similar issue recently (used a few recent smartos and also a 201312xxx version).
I haven’t figured out the root cause but what happens is that "zoneadm -u $UUID boot -X” and “zoneadm -u $UUID halt -X” takes 50-51secs every time "vmadm start/stop $UUID” runs. Zone type is not important, it is true for both KVM ve SmartOS zones. Investigating further leaded me that there can be a timeout in "svc:/system/sysevent:default" smf service when zoneadmd is summoned for the related zone. Also “devfsadm" takes about 50secs each time it runs and can not be canceled (tried to signaled with Ctlr-C). Obviously this is happening for a single machine I have (older one). I do not see the same behavior for other servers (even if they are older), "vmadm start/stop $UUID” takes ~2 secs. Also devfsadm finishes as fast as the command inserted (but with an output of "Could not open /etc/saf/zsmon/_pmtab”). As a workaround disabling svc:/system/sysevent:default makes "vmadm start/stop" faster as it was (~2 secs). This is not desirable but I didn’t see a side effect for KVM zones. However met a lofiadm issue with SmartOS zone (don’t remember the details right now). As it affects a single machine (test machine indeed), I haven’t feel to file a bug.
