I've noticed the "zfs problem" with SOME machines when it comes to rtorrent (the rtorrent process will be stuck "waiting for disk" but on other machines it's fine. The machines i've had the most problem with are single drive less than 2 gb ram. I've got rtorrent and zfs working fine on plenty of machines with 2-3 hard drives and 4-8 gb ram.
