A high wired allocation is normal for ZFS - ARC shows up as "wired"
memory.

The ARC limit defaults to 1GB less than physical RAM so 6GB wired on
an 8GB system isn't unexpected (my home system currently has 30GB
wired out of 32GB).  If this is causing problems for your workload, it
sounds like you may need to explicitly reduce vfs.zfs.arc_max (note
that this is a soft limit).

You might like to install sysutils/zfs-stats and do some ZFS tunung.
