check out this thread, which may answer some of your questions:

        http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=40617

sounds like your workload is very similar to mine. is all public
access via NFS?

also, check out this blog entry from Roch:

        http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/roch?entry=the_dynamics_of_zfs

for small file workloads, setting recordsize to a value lower than the
default (128k) may prove useful.
