Following suggestions from Andre and Rich that this was
probably the ARC, I've implemented a 256Mb limit for my
system's ARC, per the Solaris Internals wiki:

* http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Evil_Tuning_Guide#ARCSIZE
* set arc max to 256Mb
set zfs:zfs_arc_max=0x10000000


And my system now seems to be chugging along quite happily.


thankyou,
