Note that the system in question (from which the stats were pulled) was
on 10.2 for an extended period of time, with SSDs, and with
Geli-encrypted disks.  It was fine with no performance issues; whether
there is a problem with earlier releases has much to do with the disks
in question.

In the case of the Intel 730s it works perfectly well even though TRIM
is not passed through in that case.
