http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6522017 " ... Even if the ZFS ARC subsequently frees memory, the kernel cage does not shrink. It cannot shrink, because pages from the ZFS ARC were interspersed with other kernel pages, so the free space in the physical address range of the cage is fragmented when the ZFS pages are released. The remaining kernel pages cannot be moved to compress the cage, as kernel memory inside the cage is not relocatable. ..."
