Well, you need to disable cache flushes on zfs side then (or make a
firmware change work) and it will make a difference.

If you're running recent OpenSolaris/Solaris/SX builds you shouldn't have to disable cache flushing on the array. The driver stack should set the correct modes.

Whatever Sun did with this new firmware (and of course the zfs enhancements) did wonderful things.

This is the type of performance I am now seeing from the six mirror pairs:

Synchronous random writes with 8k blocks and 8 writers:
  3708.89 ops/sec

Large file write:
  359MB/second

Large file read:
  550MB/second

All of which is much better than before.
