You say that somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but Edward's right.  If the resliver 
code progresses in slab/transaction-group/whatever-the-correct-term-is order, 
then a pool with any significant use will have the resilver code seeking all 
over the disk.

If instead, resilver blindly moved in block number order, then it would have 
very little seek activity and the effective throughput would be close to that 
of pure sequential i/o for both the new disk and the remaining disks in the 
vdev.

Would it make sense for scrub/resilver to be more aware of operating in disk 
order instead of zfs order?
