I expect it will go SO SLOW, that some function somewhere is eventually
going to fail/timeout.  That system is barely usable WITHOUT compression.  I
hope at the very least you're disabling every single unnecessary service
before doing any testing, especially the GUI.

ZFS uses ram, and plenty of it.  That's the nature of COW.  Enabling
realtime compression with an 800mhz p3?  Kiss any performance, however poor
it was, goodbye.
