AIUI, you'd be better off with one large pool, and split it into
volumes that are shared to the clients. Then the volumes can share
bandwidth, which helps when one client is busy and the others are
idle. Worth a try, anyways. Increasing the level of redundancy
(raidz2, perhaps?) might also be worth looking into if you do go that
way, since a vdev failure means an entire pool failure in that case.
