  9188 increase size of dbuf cache to reduce indirect block decompression
  
  illumos/illumos-gate@268bbb2a2fa79c36d4695d13a595ba50a7754b76
  
  With compressed ARC (6950) we use up to 25% of our CPU to decompress indirect
  blocks, under a workload of random cached reads. To reduce this decompression
  cost, we would like to increase the size of the dbuf cache so that more
  indirect blocks can be stored uncompressed.
  
  If we are caching entire large files of recordsize=8K, the indirect blocks
  use 1/64th as much memory as the data blocks (assuming they have the same
  compression ratio). We suggest making the dbuf cache be 1/32nd of all memory,
  so that in this scenario we should be able to keep all the indirect blocks
  decompressed in the dbuf cache. (We want it to be more than the 1/64th that
  the indirect blocks would use because we need to cache other stuff in the
  dbuf cache as well.)
  
  In real world workloads, this won't help as dramatically as the example
  above, but we think it's still worth it because the risk of decreasing
  performance is low. The potential negative performance impact is that we
  will be slightly reducing the size of the ARC (by ~3%).
