Ok, I have just about given up on this one, and I was so hopeful after having figured out the read performance issue (which to recap was a mix of ESX guest network latency and a randomizing of the data file from running random write and sequential read tests back to back).

Now it seems I am up against the hardware and ZIL on this one.

To make it short, 4k sequential writes,  throughput 16MB/s...

Local tests show hardware is capable of at least 132MB/s (3 raidz groups of 4 disks each, those are 15K SAS disks).

I believe the network is tuned optimally, Nagle on Windows disabled.

The ZIL is going to a 16GB Mtron SSD, 100us sequential access time.

Any more suggestions or pointers to improve things are warmly welcomed.
