Is a 16GB ARC size not considered to be enough? ;-) I was only describing the behavior that I observed. It seems to me that when large files are written very quickly, that when the file becomes bigger than the ARC, that what is contained in the ARC is mostly stale and does not help much any more. If the file is smaller than the ARC, then there is likely to be more useful caching.
