This can lead to significant performance improvements with iSCSI. What storage is backing your targets (e.g., a zpool made of one disk? a dozen disks? 7k disks or 15k?)?

Anything else is mostly for brag rights; it doesn't matter if you can read really fast sequentially if your application doesn't do that.
