I had to go much lower... I use 1024...
But.. I have a LOT of ZFS filesets...
% zfs list | wc
136 680 14430
... and snapshots...
% zfs list -t snapshot | wc
138 690 13257
and clones. All of that might matter. I also run with less memory than
Greg, with just 16GB in the DOMU.

I am pretty sure that a 4GB DOMU won't even make it though the daily
cronjobs if there are a number of ZFS filesets that have a lot of files
in them.... like the source trees, for example.
