Next step would be to set vfs.zfs.arc_max to a value that's somewhat
below your physical memory size. Let's say - 1G or so. On my box with
8GB of RAM I set these values:

vfs.zfs.arc_max=3D"6500M"
vfs.zfs.arc_min=3D"4G"

You didn't mention how recent is your kernel. There were quite a few
bugfixes committed to -8. Make sure your kernel is r201987 or newer.
