Some quick tests show that ufs does do rather poorly on my system too. I have the following filesystems setup: /var : ufs with softupdates /usr/obj : zfs with checksums disabled /usr/src : zfs with compression enabled /home : zfs with compression disabled and checksums enabled I ran a test with a blocksize of 8KB and 16 threads. /var : 25.2MB/s /usr/obj : 64.8MB/s /usr/src : 386.3MB/s /home : 60.3MB/s -- Bruce Cran
